MacAskills argument for at unge idealister bør arbeide på [[Wall Street]] har vært gjenstand for en ''New York Times'' op-ed av [[David Brooks (journalist)|David Brooks]].<ref>{{Kilde www|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/04/opinion/brooks-the-way-to-produce-a-person.html?ref=opinion}}</ref>
Brooks hevdet at effektive altruister gjerne begynner med [[Earning To Give]] for å realisere sine dypeste forpliktelser vil verdiene deres kunne slites ned over tid og blir stadig mindre altruistiske.
