Join EA NYC's reading group to discuss a different selection each month! We will be switching things up this August to try out a podcast!
The 80,000 Hours podcast features In-depth conversations about the world’s most pressing problems and what listeners can do to solve them.
In this (roughly three hour) episode, the 80,000 Hours team interviews the cofounder and CEO of GiveWell, Elie Hassenfeld, to discuss some criticisms the organization has recently faced. Namely, they discuss pushes to focus on directly increasing subjective wellbeing or on raising economic growth as opposed to GiveWell's traditional approach of improving lives the most per dollar.
Listen to the podcast and join our discussion for a broader conversation on charity evaluation and to share your thoughts on what makes for an effective charity.
You can find the episode here or on most podcast platforms:
