What beats intuition when it comes to doing good? (with Marcus Davis)
Marcus A. Davis, co-founder and CEO of Rethink Priorities, researches how to direct resources for maximum good. He explores why identical interventions often cost less in poorer regions and what drives cost-effectiveness differences. He argues radically different causes can be compared, discusses moral uncertainty and modeling big decisions, and offers practical guidance for everyday donors.
