Like the coercion statute that outlawed the widespread practice of 
child labor earlier in the century? 

Don't get me wrong - the government does seem to make perhaps too 
many laws. But to refer to all business-related statutes as 
"coercion" (with it's bad connotations) is just deliberate tunnel 
vision.
