"Since that essay [Robert Nozick's 'Coercion'], there has been a steadily growing literature on coercion, a literature that on the leading issue has divided itself into two types of theories. In one camp are those who view coercion as an empirical or descriptive concept . . . ; in the other camp we find proponents of the position that coercion is a normative or moralized concept. . . . In Coercion, Alan Wertheimer sets forth what must now be considered the most detailed and defensible version of the normative position."---Stuart D. Warner, Ethics
