What reading level is Money-Hunger; a Brief Study of Commercial Immorality in the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such an onrush of an entire com- munity, seemingly bent upon the at- tainment of an elusive material goal, would indeed be ominous if it were an expression of the settled purpose of a matured national character. It is, however, but the impulsive caprice of a youthful and hard-working but mercurial people, addicted to the im- /iDones Ibunger 83 petuous pursuit of ephemeral sensa- tions, and exhilarated by unexpected success in what happens to be the fashionable sport of acquisition.
The question... now arises, What is likely to be the duration of popular enthusiasm over this — which may properly be termed the only — national pastime ? A sufficient answer is to be found in the law that pleasure lies in the novelty of sensation, and weari- ness in its repetition — that there is always reaction at the point of satiety.
So rapidly as experience of the mo- notonous passivity of the state of mere ownership shall permeate the more advanced classes of society, and to its other classes shall grow stale news of the habits and exploits and possessions of those who yield no topic of interest but wealth, so soon will the nation 84 Obonc'g Ibunger discover to itself the colossal store of inchoate intellectuality which uncon- sciously it is accumulating, — and then will begin its moral regeneration.
