To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Industry may stir temporarily the simple folk of Mandalay and Peshawar; but can they stand the shock any better than the Amerind withstood the white man's methods and the white man's whiskey? Modern industry is strong drink; those who have lived long with it, despite partial immunity born of expe- rience, are none too happy; and those less experienced dally with it at the risk of their health, customs, gen- eral effectiveness, and political stability. Viewing from these angles the possibility o...f spread- ing industrialism, a tremendous dilemma presents it- self. On the one hand, the economic forces that spread industrialism outward from its English inception are still operative, and more vigorous than before. To the constant of self-interest is added a heightened state- interest flowing from huge debts. These converging interests now have tools at their disposal which admit to efficient production breeds of cheap men not hither- to available as industrial workers. These dynamic forces are not to be denied their trial of strength.
