What reading level is The Elements of Social Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The less evolved forms of life can survive under conditions in which the higher are blotted out. What finer setting for the struggle for existence than the arid sands of the desert or the polar snows, where only the lowliest organisms survive, and where man, if he lives at all, lives in wretched denudation of all that is worth strug- gling for ? As geology unfolded the story of countless vanished types, it appeared that nature might unfit as well as fit her children to survive. Nor did she seem... to arm them for the cosmic warfare in the simple way which the early evolutionists assumed, so that the best should win by reason of the qualities men had learned to admire. The microscopic germ might triumph over the highest of the mammals. Perversely, nature armed some of her weaker species with qualities which emphasized their weakness, but nevertheless enabled them to survive, such as prodigious fertility. On the other hand, it appeared that in the human sphere the groups which extended furthest the principle of co-operation, which relied most upon mutual aid, which displayed the most intelligence in the organized conquest of the evils of life, were those which also dominated the world.
