[Ads-l] effective altruism

[Stephen Goranson]

"The history of the term 'effective altruism'" by William MacAskill (2014) may give the impression that the collocation was coined in 2011 or 2012. [1]
An Economic Analysis of the Family by John Ermisch, 2003, is one earlier example, using it numerous times, including as a section heading on page 55. [2]
