What reading level is Outlooks From the New Standpoint book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The interest of these new classes plainly lay in the direction of individualism, that is, of the severance of all the ties which bound a man to his village to his lord, to his guild. All that stood in the way of the pursuit of wealth by the individual was obnoxious to the new classes. A new code of social ethics, as we may term them (as distinguished from theological ethics), grew up in accordance with these ideas. The shiftless class of proletarians which had formed along- side of the new midd...le-class or capitalists, on the suppression of the monasteries and the enclosure of the common lands, had necessarily turned to mendi- cancy. Now the new middle-classes found it to their interest to engage the free labour of those unfortun- ates at as little as possible, and not to let them subsist on the alms of the charitable. Accordingly the old mediaeval and Catholic idea that mendicancy was honourable yielded to the new middle-class and Pro- testant idea that mendicancy was disgraceful. This is interesting as the parent of the modem bourgeois notion of the stigma attaching to the receipt of poor- law relief.
