What reading level is The Structure of Social Action a Study in Social Theory With Special Reference book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

III. Pareto's relation to Social Darwinism, discussed in Chap. VI, would make it seem probable that the prominence of force in his theory was not alone a matter of such naturalistic elements.
The considerations just dealt with give conclusive proof that such cannot be the case. For the use of force is most prominent in the case of the "lions, " who are strong in the persistence of aggregates and are men of strong faith. On the contrary, those lacking in faith are very generally both unwilling a
...nd unable to use force.
What lies back of this association between idealism and the use of force on which Pareto lays so much stress but which runs counter to so much of current opinion? It goes deeply into the foundations of his thought. A leading characteristic of a faith, for Pareto, is its absoluteness. And the more intensely it is believed in, the more prominent this is. Such a faith, it is to be' remembered, has definite consequences for action. The man of strong faith in general tries to make others conform to the standards demanded by his faith by whatever means are avail- able.
