Coercion Vice Cooperation

"The point of all this is that when even slaves had to be paid to get certain kinds of work done, this shows the limits of what can be accomplished by power alone. Yet so much of what is said and done by those who rely on the power of government to direct ever more sweeping areas of our life seem to have no sense of the limits of what can be accomplished that way."

Government has only coercion in it's tool kit; does any of us really believe that's the best way to get life done?
