Thomas Sowell

“Whenever A can get B to do what A wishes, then A has "power" over B, according to the results-oriented definition of the unconstrained vision... But if B is in a process in which he has at least as many options as he had before A came along, then A has not "restricted" B's choices, and so has no "power" over him, by the process definition... characteristic of the constrained vision.”
