What reading level is The Peril of Hifalutin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the task is rather to protect all the people from oppression by all the people — from an oppression that might be 158 NEW NATIONALISM 159 heavier than that of oligarchy as the whole is greater than its part. For it is oppression by the selfish and indifferent mass of the people that is transmuted into oppression by economic and social group interests.
The whole people have the power ; they must be held responsible for the effects of any failure to make full and wise use of their power.
What... worse oppression, too, than that which re- duces all ideals to the level of materialism ; that robs the nation of lofty leadership and enthrones medi- ocrity? With its original object gone, how shall de- mocracy justify itself if its cumbersome processes are allowed to hamper efficient administration, prompt justice, wise policy, noble national ideals and the best development of a finely happy people? The promise of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' ' means much here in America. But does it mean as much as it should?
