A charity effect is an unexpected benefit resulting from an act of charity. This concept is typically ignored or even rejected by those who advocate compulsory tax-and-spend programs instead of voluntary charity.
Examples of the charity effect include:
- invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, who was simply trying to build a device for the deaf
- development of the Jacuzzi by Candido Jacuzzi, who was imply trying to help his 15-month old son deal with painful, crippling rheumatoid arthritis[1]
