What reading level is The Old Regime And the Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
217 speculated in its bargains, or were its salaried servants.
At no former period were private fortunes so deeply involved with the state finances. Bad financial man- agement had formerly been a public evil, now it be- came disastrous to a thousand private families. In 1789 the state owed nearly 600 millions to creditors who were themselves in debt, and whose grievances were aggravated by the personal injury inflicted on them by the remissness of the state. And be it re- marked that the irrita...tion of this class of malcontents increased in proportion to their number ; for a specu- lative mania, a thirst for riches, a taste for comfort spreading as business became extended, troubles of this kind appeared intolerable to those who, thirty years before, might have borne them without complaint.
Hence it happened that capitalists, merchants, man- ufacturers, and other business men or financiers — who are usually the most conservative class of the com- munity, and the stanchest supporters of government, and who will submit patiently to laws which they de- spise or detest — were now more impatient and more resolutely bent on reform than any other section of the people.
