What reading level is An Essay On Western Civilization in Its Economic Aspects volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^ In pre-Homeric and Homeric times slaves could be acquired direct by war or piracy, or purchased from pirates and warriors. Spasmodic raids and surreptitious kidnapping gradually gave way to a more regular trade, in which Phoenicians, Cretans, Taphians, Lemnians, and Sicilians actively engaged (Richter, Sklaverei, pp. 13, 15), and incurred a certain amount of obloquy among Greeks on this account. Of this trade Rhodes, Crete, Chios, and Delos became centres. Slaves are recognised as staple comm...odities in Homer: e. G. In Iliad vii. 475 the Achaeans buy wine from Lemnians with captives among other things, and in Odyssey i. 430, XV. 482 Laertes is spoken of as acquiring a household slave for a certain price. In Herodotus 11. 54 a woman from the temple at Thebes in Egypt was kidnapped by Phoenicians, and sold to the Greeks: and the inevi- table consequence of defeat and capture by an enemy is slavery, with him or with a customer of his. It is easy to see that slaves trained in the arts and crafts of Phoenicia were worth much to the primitive and pastoral Greeks, and on the other hand to understand that Greek women and boys came to be reckoned of high value among "barbarians.
