What reading level is The Modern Man And His Fellow Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what man is there who if, in speaking of a strike, he were to say that he 56 THE WORKING MAN supported, or opposed, the claims of labor, would be understood as meaning the claims of employers and millionaires like these? It is evident that no one would understand him in such a sense; and if he used the word labor thus, he would be merely trifling with language. The word for all practical purposes has its mean- ing unequivocally fixed. It does not mean all human exertion; it emphatically mea...ns a part ot it only. It means muscular and manual exer- tion, or exertion of which the ordinary man is capable, as distinct from industrial exertion of any other kind; and not only as distinct from it, but as actually opposed to and struggling with it. " Ah, yes; just there, in fact, is the tragedy of the whole business; and in that last sentence of Mr. Mallock's lies the point of his whole argu- ment. It is in vain, in other words, that we endeavor, by amiable sophisms which, true enough once, have long ago ceased to be true, to obscure to ourselves or to others that tremen- dous cleavage which, in our time, has come to pass between the rest of human society and those who make up what we call the working classes.
