Meeting

This month’s program: “What should we do about global poverty?”

According to Thomas Pogge, poverty killed 416 million people in the 20th century. More died from poverty than from Stalin, Mao, and World War II combined.

The Maximin Project is working to eradicate global poverty, one thoughtfully-made connection at a time. Dr. Steven Brown created the Maximin Project in direct response to his experience as an ethics instructor in the Philosophy Department at The Ohio State University.
