To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nothing whatever except the unskilled labor of his hands and the right for the first time in his life to make a contract. The government secured for him not even a Russian peasant holding, to say nothing of " forty acres and a mule, " or the English laborer's " three acres and a cow. " He was, so to speak, in the air. He continued standing on the ground by virtue or grace of the law of gravity, but the ground was economically " from under him, " taken up — it belonged to another man, in this ne...w and strange world of private property and the competitive strug- gle for existence. Supposing him to have had land, however, he had no plow to " break it up " with. Supposing the plow to be there, there was no mule to pull the plow — or seed to drop if the furrow had been opened — or hoe to " chop " with, if cotton and corn had sprung up — or bag or basket to " pick " into, if the bolls of his money crop had opened. And then here was the pinch after all — any saleable product of his labor was months away, as far away as the next har- vest time.
