Effective Altruism Versus Virtuewashing and Good Will Laundering
The Price of Business Digital Network has a new series of outstanding commentaries from thought leaders. This is one in that series.
Dr. Chris E. Stout
Top-Ranked Nonprofit Founder Dr. Chris Stout weighs in on Business Ethics and Effective Altruism. This is based on LinkedIn News asking their Top Voices to opine on what we speculate may be the Big Ideas of the upcoming year. For this year’s Big Ideas special feature, I wanted to weigh-in on my perspective on rethinking Effective Altruism and the pretension of plutocratic benevolence, along with a few how-to ideas for making the world a better place in 2023. This Thought Leader Commentary is based on that.
