What reading level is Great Fortunes; the Winning: the Using book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gains at the Expense of Others (a) PLUNDER: There are two or three main forms in which gain for one's self at the expense of others is secured with no material service rendered to society, sometimes with society in- jured thereby. It is probable that most of the greatest fortunes in the history of the world have been made in some such way, although many have been made by the rendering of direct service. In the ancient days, as we know, many of the greatest fortunes were secured directly by plun...der. When a Roman pro-consul like Verres was sent to Sicily, [22] THE WINNING or a Pompey to Asia, or a Caesar to Spain or Gaul, it was expected that he would come back a wealthy man. Even the relatively honest, kindly Cicero, who boasted that in his government of a province he oppressed no one and was beloved by all, made some $100, 000 in less than one year. Caesar, with a daring which characterized him through life, had borrowed recklessly to the extent of doubtless a million, if not millions of dollars, and even risked everything upon his success in securing office; but after his appointment to the control of Spain and of Gaul, his future was secured not less surely from the financial point of view than from the military and political.
