What reading level is Inequality And Progress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It recog- 64 INEQUALITY AND PROGRESS nizes the variety of human powers and capacities. It is the correlative of inequality rather than the synonym of equality. It is not fair to an illiterate man to elect him chairman of the school com- mittee. It puts him at an enormous disadvantage and exposes him to ridicule. It is not fair to a philosopher to keep him on a shoemaker's bench, spite of the case of Boehme, nor is it fair to others. It spoils a good thinker to make a poor shoemaker, as converse...ly many a good carpenter is spoiled to make a poor preacher. Sutor ne supra crepidamjudicaret. " Blessed is the man who has found his work. " And blessed is the born shoe- maker who has found and who sticks to his last. That is the only fair chance for him. Surely he has not an equal opportunity with a statesman, although he has just as fair a chance.
The admission of those who demand a nearer approach to equality does not, in fact, go so far as / the fair chance theory goes. They really believe, / after all, that the chances which are appropriate tend to make men equal; that, if all had fair chances, the effect would be leveling up and level- \ ing down ; and that, with the disappearance of ex- \ tremes in material conditions would disappear also, \ to a considerable degree, the intellectual differences of men.
