Point/Counterpoint: A Duty to (Not?) Help Poor People

Famine, Affluence, and Morality (1972), by Peter Singer, makes an ethical case for a duty to help the poor.

Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor (1974), by Garrett Hardin, is an interesting counterpoint.

If you have an opinion about it either way, why not read both articles and see another perspective?
