To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In society, when it has reached this stage, there is no practical limit to the desires of human beings, nor therefore to the quantity of work which they would wish to have done ; and even though the course of civilization should be, as I trust it may be, toward the adoption of simpler tastes and habits in all that concerns mere physical well-being, the introduction of more simple modes of life, while limiting the range of wants in one direction, would not fail, we may rea- sonably assume, to op...en the door to new paths of expenditure in others. Benevolence and public spirit, the interests of sci- ence and literature, would become powerful and exigent, as the tastes for mere physical luxury and personal indulgence or aggrandizement declined, and would rapidly create wants to take the place of those which would now be no longer felt. The social work to be done, therefore, though under such a regime as we are contemplating differing much from that which now occupies industry, would still be as indefinite and as prac- tically unlimited as ever.
