What reading level is An Alphabet of Economics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This consists in employing men for personal profit and returning a share to keep them at it. But of two things one : either the employer is entitled to the whole of the profits or he is entitled to none. If the former, his sharing of the profits with his workmen is (a) charity ; or (b) conscience- money ; or (c) bribery ; or (d) an insurance against strikes, etc. If the latter, the men are as wrong to accept a part as the employers are to reserve a part. Let us discriminate, however, between pr...ofits and, on the one hand, the salary of management, and, on the PROFIT-SHARING— PROGRESS 1 1 5 other, the wages of labour. Profit is some- thing over and above the market-rate (that is, the economic value) of both ; it is in the nature of a windfall — or shall we say that the tree is shaken ? The legitimate return to employers consists of (a) the salaries of the managing staff; and (b) renewal and improvement of plant — and nothing else. All the rest is the property in equity of Labour. Where, then, is there any Profit as such ?
