INSTITUTION: An established method or way of doing something that's widely accepted throughout society. Common institutions include marriage, markets, high school football in the fall, government, and Christmas gift-giving.

Institutions provide the crucial structure of a society and the framework within which economic activity takes place. Without institution structure, anarchy would prevail.
