What reading level is Causes of the Decline And Fall of Nations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the country was fully peopled, before animal food was somuch used; that is, if the population was as great as the vegetableproduce of the country was able to supply; as the same quantity ofground cannot feed the same number of people with animal food, there will be a necessity of importing the deficiency. The change that this produces, when once it begins to operate, is amost powerful and effectual cause of decline; and, without theintervention of conquest, or any violent revolution, would o...f itself besufficient to impoverish, in the first instance, and, in the second, todepopulate a country. We find every country that was once wealthy, but that has fallen [endof page #138] into decline, is thinly peopled; and if it were not for thewant of information, from which the cause may be traced, a deficiencyof food might most probably be found to be one of the most efficient. Flanders, which is one of the most fertile countries in Europe, and hasexperienced a partial decline, is probably not near so fully peopled asit once was.
