What reading level is Looking Within : the Misleading Tendencies of "looking Backward" Made Manifest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
LOOKING WITHIN. 211 Formerly thrift, industry, and economy brought their rewards ; now there was no real demand for any of these qualities. The indolent, slothful, and careless fared as well as the most punctual and painstaking.
This is, practically, offering a premium for laziness.
The conscientious toiler gets nothing for his faithful- ness; the sloth loses nothing by his delinquencies.
Such a system of fossilized injustice and inequality must break down of its own inherent weakness.
There ca...n be no lasting cohesion where the moral sense is constantly outraged, where justice is un- known, and where the temptation to be dishonest is ever present. The question will constantly recur, even to an honest man : '' Why should I be true when it avails me nothing?" When the wrong-doer shares equally as well as the right-doer, how long will the latter continue faithful? Such a system is sure to develop rogues. It cannot produce men and women of highly developed mental, moral, and spiritual pow- ers.
