What reading level is Bankrupting a Great City (The Story of New York) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The profits of gambling houses, aside from the money paid for "protection" were sometimes shared directly by politicians, and this sum, with the aggregate paid for "protection" totalled 61 not less than ten and sometimes more than twenty million dollars each year of police inactivity! Save for the small percentage of industrious men, the great mass of people in the city were poor and what little they saved from the temptations of gambling were scattered to the winds by the vice of drink and by ...the allurements of policy-playing. This latter was another contrivance of dia- bolical money making, rigged by the crafty politicians who on the one hand "served" their "constituents" by providing them with occasional aid or suc- cor, while on the other hand they set the bait that deprived them of all their worldly possessions and kept them continually poor. Policy was the most insidious of all the vices invented by a sordid crew that lived off the toil of their unhappy brethren. It enslaved the women as well as the men and it made victims of the children who carried the paltry earning of their parents to the policy shops.
