ABSTRACT
Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine the nature of this social position of the worker as exactly as was the case with his political and economic situation, either with the help of sections of the law or of numbers. Demonstration has to rest partly on intuitions, it has to be satisfied with the assessment of symptoms, and it should not underestimate details; yet it will still remain incomplete overall. The general impression must then replace what exact proof cannot demonstrate. We saw earlier how smartly and frequently elegantly clothed the workers are, especially the female ones, as they go on their way to work. The whole of public life has a more democratic style. Snobbery about personal status is also less common in the United States than in Germany in particular. It is therefore natural that he feels differently from his counterpart in a country where a person only begins to be considered a person.
