IntroductionSlide3
The three variables:Domination reigns over A if: (1) an imbalance in the distribution of social, coercive, or market power operates in favour of B insofar as
B exerts greater coercive social or market power over A
than A over B, (2) A is dependent on his/her private social relationship with B to some extent and for some reason, e.g. reliance of A on B for wage labour and subsistence, or A’s social, economic and psychological needs, and (3) the power that B wields over A affords B a degree of arbitrary discretion which may be exercised according to B’s will or pleasure without any effective or external constraints
