To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How, indeed, can we possibly pretend that there is equal oppor- tunity in any sense when millions upon millions of able-bodied and able-minded Americans can find no jobs, when millions more are working only part-time, and when millions of others simply do not possess the financial means to obtain the good things of life ? Decades ago, with the disappearance of the frontier, it became impossible for individuals and families to solve their economic problems by moving to the rich open spaces of th...e West. Now a man has little choice but to stay where he is and fight it out in the economic wilderness of his own home town. And with the omnipresent concentration of business enter- prise it is not so easy, even if you do have a little capital to start with, to set up on your own either in city or country. American class rela- tions, which once were marked by considerable fluidity, have become, like those of Europe, more and more "frozen. " Clearly the old economic basis for American democracy, that of individuals owning their independent means of livelihood, has grown to be the exception rather than the rule.
