“Diderot Effect Around 250 Years ago, the French philosopher Denis Diderot was quite well-known but despite his popularity, he was poor. His daughter was planning on getting married but he didn’t have the money to give her a dowry. When Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, heard about his predicament, she offered to buy the Diderot library. Suddenly, the philosopher found himself with a lot of money. He replaced his old robe with a new scarlet robe. Although he loved the robe, he realized that the other things he owned weren’t as beautiful. His shoes didn’t match the beauty of the robe and, in a short time, he bought new leather shoes, a wooden desk to write, a golden clock, and many works of art. All these expenses eventually led to him ending up in debt. This kind of behavior is now known as the Diderot Effect.”
