To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A whole nation of sick and un- happy persons can never achieve welfare for the nation. Each sick and unhappy man makes it less possible, for social welfare is distinctly the sum of individual good fortune, and does not differ from it either in amount or kind. Fur- thermore, the power of achievement for the nation at large rests upon the strength of its individual components, and can never exceed this. Social affairs in the hands of invalids suffer the same incompetent treatment that do indi- vi...dual affairs. There is the same loss in morality, because the same lowering of collective efficiency, and the same failure to grasp the full ends of good fortune and welfare. In the matter of individual strength, both egoism and altruism teach the same thing ; they teach the primal duty of perfecting it to the utmost. The man so socially minded as to look at all questions from the point of view of welfare rather than of individual good fortune would do in this respect precisely what the individual seeker does.
