What reading level is Elements of Political Economy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, however, is returning to the point from which we set out. It is nugatory to include labour in the definition of the word capital, and then to say that, capital without labour, deter- mines exchangeable values. If capital is under- stood in a sense which does not include the purchase money of labour, and hence the labour itself, it is obvious that capital does not regulate the exchange- able value of commodities.
If labour were the sole instrument of production, and capital not required, t...he produce of one day's labour in one commodity would exchange against the produce of one day's labour in another commodity. In the rude state of society, if the hunter and the fisherman desired to vary their food, the one by a portion of game, the other by a portion of fish, the average quantity which they took in a day would form the standard of exchange. If it did not, one of the two would be placed in a more unfavourable situation than his neighbour, with perfect power, which he would of course employ, to pass from the one situation to the other.
