Denis Diderot Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: October 5, 1713 - July 31, 1784
Birthday: October 5
Death: July 31
If exclusive privileges were not granted, and if the financial system would not tend to concentrate wealth, there would be few great fortunes and no quick wealth. When the means of growing rich is divided between a greater number of citizens, wealth will also be more evenly distributed; extreme poverty and extreme wealth would be also rare.
