that your boss has coercive capacity against you, what will make you have the capacity
to go against it ? We're talking about hierarchy here, not collaborative working for the
benefit of both that you seem to conflate.

Well how is his satisfaction satisfied? The thing is, he only has the coercive capacity
to judge it, you're not on equal footing here. Hierarchy implies coercion.
What if he owns all the land and is the only person within a 100 miles that has money
with which to pay you and a job for you to do?
As long as he is the boss, he has coercive capacity against you, that's what it means
to be the "boss" .
So anyone very much wealthier than you has coercive capacity against you. I would agree
with that, and it is one of the reasons to prefer constitutionally limited government to
anarcho-capitalism. Libertarians like to think money is just a medium of trade, but it is
also power.
