What reading level is Utopia of Usurers And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That we emerged slowly from a semi- barbarism in which all the power and wealth were in the hands of Kings and a few nobles ; that the King's power was broken first and WORKMAN'S HISTORY 91 then in due time that of the nobles, that this piece-meal improvement was brought about by one class after another waking up to a sense of citizenship and demanding a place in the na- tional councils, frequently by riot or violence; and that in consequence of such menacing pop- ular action, the franchise was... granted to one class after another and used more and more to improve the social conditions of those classes, imtil we practically became a democracy, save for such exceptions as that of the women. I do not think anyone will deny that something like that is the general idea of the educated man who reads a newspaper and of the newspaper that he reads. That is the view ciu'rent at pub- lic schools and colleges; it is part of the culture of all the classes that coimt for much in gov- ernment; and there is not one word of truth in it from beginning to end.
