To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The power, for example, to pro- duce a large quantity of a useful commodity may exist, but the con- ditions be wanting for placing the product in the hands of those who want it. This checks the production without affecting the pro- ducing power. That lies latent, and such latent power is simply wasted. Nor is it altogether a discrepancy between production and distribution. The power to distribute exists as well as the power to produce, but the conditions are wanting which are necessary to call ...that power into exercise. And this is the actual industrial state of society. What is true of art is true of science. Intelligence, far more than necessity, is the mother of invention, and the influence of knowl- edge as a social factor, like that of wealth, is proportional to the extent of its distribution. Society has always presented to the thoughtful student two great inequalities as the adequate explanation of nearly all its evils — in- equality of knowledge and inequality of possession. Moral progress, in so far as it has taken place at all, has consisted in the slight diminu- tion of one or both of these inequalities.
