Wenar on "effective [sic] altruism" and his critics

Philosopher Leif Wenar wades into the fray again, responding in part to critics of his earlier piece.  I'm sympathetic to much that Professor Wenar says, although it touches only indirectly on the main difficulty, namely, that "effective [sic] altruism" really only concerns "altruistic actions with fairly immediate and measurable short-term effects," which is not the same as making people better off, regardless of one's motive.  (Wenar's criticism of the unintended effects of aid on non-recipients is relevant to this issue, but it's just the tip of an iceberg of consequences that are never considered by members of the church.)
