What reading level is The Foundations of Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wealth of the rich man who has also leisure, and the accident of birth, are too frequently regarded as sufficient recommendations. It is true that the elec- 295 THE FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIETY torate have to be consulted ; but if the composition of, say, the House of Commons be examined, it will be found that the qualifications based on wealth or birth have had most to do in giving many of the members a seat in it ; for the rich can still command many votes that are denied to the poor, however w...ell the latter may be otherwise endowed.
Complaint is often made that the people invested with political power are not sufficiently informed. There is, it is true, only too much reason for this complaint; but, on the other hand, the need for political education, meaning by this an informed mind and high ethical and economic ideals on the part of the people's representatives, is even more urgent ; for, among other things, it is their duty to educate the electorate ; to expound economic principles of action ; and to set before the people the highest ethics.
