What reading level is Some Aspects of the Social Power of Wealth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"If that woman has died he shall pay half a mina of silver. " 213. "If he has struck a gentleman's maid servant and caused her to drop that which is in her womb, he shall pay two shekels of silver. " 214. "If that maid servant has died he shall pay one-third of a mina of silver. " CODE OF GENTOO.
To understand this code it is necessary to state the theory of creation as held by these ancient people.
"The Principle of Truth having first formed the Earth, and the Heavens, and the Water, and the F...ire, produced a Being, called Burmah, the Pewtah, 1 for the creation of all beings. Af- terwards he created the Bramin from his mouth, the Chebteree from his Arms, the Bice from his Thighs, and Sooder from his Feet. "' Bramin ranks first and always enjoys special privileges. His duty is to read the Beids (Gentoo Scriptures).
So far as the writer can discover, the possession of wealth yielded no social prestige, but that rank and caste were founded on birth and religion was the underlying principle.
