Document Summary
It is all about allocation who gets what, where, when and how with respect to things that are desired and not desired. No one wants to pay taxes but we want the benefits that come from. Conscription no one wants to go into the military, but we want paying taxes security. * there are three ways societies deal with allocation. * exchange: we live in a capitalist society the market dominates. Everyone agrees the son should be king, they agree with the ways of their society. There needs to be a relationship between those who are commanding and those who are being commanded. These commands are political so long as they apply to society as a whole. Force and coercion are necessary in society so people do what they"re required to do for their role in society. Politics has to do with power within society.
