that in this era of economic flux, technological innovation and

tap into this reality. Policy makers today are trumpeting so-called
STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) and
parents know that these subjects tend to produce jobs. But the AP
exams don't mirror that at all. In 2013, for example, according to
the AP website, the most popular exam to take, by a long margin,
was English literature and composition: 824,000 kids sat those
tests, a threefold increase on the decade. In second place was
American history, which attracted 428,000 students, twice the
number of a decade before. In third place, with 360,000 students,
was one STEM subject: calculus. After that carne US politics and
government, psychology and world history. Biology ranked below
that, while chemistry and computing science were further down
the list. And physics was so unpopular that seven times more
students sat the English exams than physics.

that more money for Motor Neurone Disease meant less for
35 other charities. The evidence for that proposition is thin, as
it happens, but even if the many tens of millions raised by
the ice bucket challenge were brand-new charitable giving,
we could still ask where that money would best be spent.

The strength of a viral giving campaign, however, is also its


4o weakness: people join in for a laugh because their friends
have put them up to it rather than because of a logical
analysis of the most worthy cause. Motor Neurone Disease
is a truly dreadful condition but so is cncer, ebola or
simple starvation. In a world of limited generosity and finite
45 resources, who is to say which cause should be at the head
of the queue? The fact that ice bucketeers were donating
to a Motor Neurone Disease charity feels entirely arbitrary.
If another charity had happened to be the beneficiary
instead, very little else about the viral campaign would have
so changed. Would that have been a better situation?

GiveWell is an organisation which seems well placed


to answer such questions: it sets out to give donors the
information they need to make the most effective donations.
It sounds like an impossible job. GiveWell's approach is

much organisation is also a trap. Instead of getting rid of things
we don't need, we buy more stuff in order to organise the stuff we

It is long and, while it does inciude a great deal to intrigue and
so entertain, the rather random parade of disparate topics makes
it less than the sum of its parts. Levitin offers sensible practical
