What reading level is The Politics of Technological Change An Empirical Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In this instance, however, the impact on skills was discounted as a source of contention. For example, when asked his opinion about the CNC equipment, one of the operators described them as an extension of past technology: It's really something the way it reduces the time we used to spend doing set-ups. But it doesn't require any less skill because you can override the controls. You can also make a part faster for a customer because you don't have to sit and wait for NC programming to do their ...thing. We spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to program them to do trickier cuts. Another machinist readily admitted that simple operation of the machines could be possible by someone who had no experience with conventional machine tools but, he added, shop management's closeness to the work being done in the area made them "aware of what it takes to get the most out of this equipment. " That awareness, he suggested, derived in large part from the fact that several of the higher level supervisors in the shop had begun work as hourly machinists there.
