Document Summary
Chapter two: power, legitimacy, and authority"s: power is the broader sense is the capacity to achieve what you want. Is the ability to persuade others to do your will, to convince them to want to do what you want them to do. These are some of the bonds that hole society together: public authority: in contrast, is deliberately creates by human agreement. The authority of government does not create the order over which it presides and does not sustain that order solely by its own fiat or its accredited power. There is authority beyond the authority of the government. Is that of general rules binding on all participants in the system. Authority is exercised only when it is called for by these rules: modernization in economics refers to the adoption of markets and sophisticated technology in place of barter and subsistence production. In politics, the replacement of traditional authority with legal authority.
