What reading level is The American City a Problem in Democracy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So far as they are games of skill, they develop a habit of mind which prepares a man to keep his own counsel and quickly and ruthlessly take advantage of any negligence THE AMERICAN CITY or mistake on the part of his opponent. That is to say, the mental skill arid acuteness developed by these games is competitive in the strict sense. It is not skill in producing things or performing service, but in taking advantage of one's neighbors and reaping where one has not sown. These habits of mind are ...out of date in a modern city. From an evolutionary standpoint they represent surviving characteristics of past cycles and are directly responsible for the gilded failures that strew the path of human civilization in its slow and painful progress toward the type of human nature which democracy assumes in part and in part creates.
Another and perhaps more important cause for the prevalence of the gambling spirit in cities is the transformation in the industrial system by which the upper classes of city men have been removed from contact with the tangible processes of production, and by which most city men have been largely relieved of direct responsibility for the usefulness of their labor.
