What reading level is Points of Friction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is powerless to credit new systems with finality. The sanguine assurance that men and na- tions can be legislated into goodness, that pressure from without is equiva- lent to a moral change within, needs a strong backing of inexperience. "The will," says Francis Thompson, "is the lynch-pin of the faculties." We stand or fall by its strength or its infirmity. Where there is no temptation, there is no vir- tue. Parental legislation for the benefit of the weak leaves them as weak as ever, and d...enies to the strong the birth- right of independence, the hard, resist- ant manliness with which they work out their salvation. They may go to heaven in leading-strings, but they can- not conquer ApoUyon on the way.
^^ The well-meant despotism of the re- l former accomplishes some glittering re- sults, but it arrests the slow progress of 98 Conservative's Consolations civilization, which cannot afford to be despotic. Mr. Bagehot, whose csmicism] held the wisdom of restraint, main- tained that the ' ' cake of custom ' ' should be stiff enough to make change of any kind difficult, but never so stiff as, to make it impossible.
