What reading level is The American As He is book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The money that comes with success of this kind the American takes gladly as the outward and visible sign and measure of what he has done. But the money itself he treats as a toy, or — if of finer moral calibre — as a trust, to be in some way administered for the public good, after making provision for his own family.
This is the reason of the constant stream of bene- factions, great and small, in the United States.
Universities, colleges, hospitals, asylums, libraries, public undertakings and m...emorials of every kind are founded and supported by private bene- factions of this sort.
The ethical and political value of this state of affairs is very great. The sense of responsi- bility for the administration of great wealth, and the sense of obligation in regard to it, are valuable moral assets for any nation. The political and economic system which opens the way to indi- vidual self-expression and achievement of every kind, which assures to each individual the un- [40] Govern- ment disturbed possession of the fruits of his own The efforts, and which develops in him a sense of American obligation to the community for the proper use ^P^^ and expenditure of his gains, is far preferable to ' one which commits the political and economic injustice of adjusting the rewards to needs and to desires, instead of to achievements, in the hope that thereby equality and happiness — a false equality and an illusory happiness — will be promoted.
