What reading level is America's Economic Supremacy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, fast as brew- ENGLAND'S DECADENCE IN WEST INDIES 73 ing grows, the weight of sugar used in the beer grows faster. In 1883 the pubhc put up with something less than 4f lbs. of sugar to the barrel: in 1897 it demanded between 8 and 9 lbs.
The same tendency toward extravagance appears throughout the list of imported arti- cles of food. The ordinary citizen buys 63 per cent more foreign bacon and ham, 58 per cent more butter, 162 per cent more beef, and i lb. more tea annually than he did four...teen years ago. Yet, in 1883, Britons had not the reputation of being underfed.
This spread of self-indulgence would be without significance were it accompanied by a corresponding accretion of energy ; but the industrial class of England has never learned that a larger cost of living must find its compensation in additional economy in pro- duction. On the one hand, trade unions have enforced shorter hours and withstood labour- saving machines ; on the other, capitalists have failed to consolidate entire trades under a single management, and thereby reduce salaries and rent to a minimum.
