What reading level is Old Age Pensions And the Aged Poor a Proposal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They often are so ; but which of us is pre- pared to throw the first stone ? Many a man is altogether morally undeserving who yet never comes to poverty, although he may have depended all his life on his own exertions. A bad son or a bad father may work hard and maintain his club subscription, and if poor enough to be so regarded, would pass muster as "deserving" according to the usual tests. On the other hand, a shiftless, thriftless fellow may have all the non-economic virtues, and often does... have many of them, PROPOSALS. 39 Beyond this I maintain, and I think I have shown, that no more useful assistance could be given to those who are inclined to help themselves than a small fixed provision in old age.
(4) It is objected that as a cure for poverty the sum to be granted is inadequate, and therefore cruel and calculated only to stimulate begging. The charge of cruelty is the same as that raised against out-relief. It is put forward by the same authorities and with the same rather mixed motives.
