This book studies the development of ideas on freedom, coercion, and power in the history of economic thought. It focuses on the exchange of goods and services and on terms of exchange (interest rates, prices, and wages) and examines the nature of choice, that is, the state of the will of economic actors making exchange decisions.

From these origins, views on economic choice, coercion and power are recorded, as they gradually change over the centuries, until they manifest themselves in contemporary disputes between different branches of institutional economics.
