What reading level is The American Era book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So we bid with our pottage. If they refuse, we offer them a bigger pot. If they demand immaterial good, we offer to take them to the Presby- terian General Assembly. A refusal to accept this boon proves to us their lack of idealism and their hopeless un- reasonableness.
It was the same way about the war. One pottage prophet came to us with the illuminating discovery that war did not pay. You were dollars ahead not to fight. He proved it conclusively. And then the consenting world proceeded to s...pend a couple of hundred billions on war. The prophet probably still thinks that he solved the problem, and that the action of mankind proves the hopeless perversity and unreasonableness of men.
And here again is the same all perverting assumption. I hear employers tell how much they have done for labor. Sometimes they are complacent, sometimes complaining at labor's ingratitude. But complacent or complaining, they rarely betray any consciousness of the real attitude of labor. Workers are men. They do not want to be done for.
