What reading level is Democracy And Imperialism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But surely we have got beyond the necessity of treating such an idea as a serious argimient with intelligent people. In extent, tlie Philippines add nothing to our dignity as a nation; in case of war they would be a weakness as they were to Spain; they have no common ground with us of race, language, religious or political ideals. As an addition to our tenitury they are a pure incumbrance.
But there ai'fe those who would keep the Islands because of their wealth; because it would be an advantage... to us to "develop" theiu. Jveduced to it^ simplest tenns, this is the argument of the slave-driver who worked his "nigor" for the benefit of his own pocket. International morality doeo not exist for such people. Deaf to the teachings uf histoi-y, they tliink only o£ the possibility of personal pecuuian' advantage. The one and only bit of ethical advice which they imderetand or esteem is that of lago: "Put money in thy pui-se!" Yet nothing is more certain than the ultimate failure of all schemes to work colonies for the financial benefit of the mother- countiy; or dependencies for the advantage of the master- nation.
