What reading level is Religion And Human Interests book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unfettered competition meant in practice selfishness, class hatred, envy and malice. It meant sweating, starva- tion wages, and oppression of the poor. It meant the lowering of the quality of commodities by tricks of trade which left nothing unadulterated, and called nothing by its proper name. To make sure of a profit, traders frequently charged as much as they thought the customer could pay. The very notion of a fair and reasonable price for commodi- ties, the just price as it used to be call...ed, was almost lost. You got as much as you could for your goods, and gave as little as you could for them. That was business ; it was buying in the cheapest market and selling in the dearest.
The stress and the strain of the war have given the death-blow to all these ideas. A nation rely- ing on them was found to be no match for a nation organised in every department for national action and for conquest. If it was not desirable to jump from one extreme to the other, if it was not wise to emulate the excessive organisation of the enemy, national safety imperatively demanded that some- thing should be done.
