For #GivingTuesday I finally put my first book chapter online, along with some reflections in the year since I wrote it. I wouldn't have put it this way at the time, but I believe tax and benefit policy is a promising cause area for effective altruists. ubicenter.org/mortality-exis…
My overall thesis is:
* Poverty increases mortality and leading indicators of mortality
* Poverty destabilizes individuals & society, increasing existential risk
* UBI > alternative antipoverty policies
I also posted this to the @Effect_Altruism forum. forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/Z8GCPjoy…

If you're feeling generous today and want to directly reduce poverty and its broader consequences as my chapter describes, I recommend @GiveDirectly. donate.givedirectly.org
We at @ThePolicyEngine also believe we can productively deploy funds for tax & benefit policy research. Our global ambitions start with bringing PolicyEngine UK to the US, & building a simpler product to understand current policies. You can donate here. 🙏 opencollective.com/psl
