Let's follow your logic. Let's assume Well Functioning institutions are in place. Let's take it one step back, and one step forward from there: - one step back: What enables Functioning Institutions? The institutions are composed of people. Good institutions require educated, skilled professionals. - one step forward: Once we have Well functioning institutions... Well, what do they exist for? To support a functioning society, perhaps? Which is dependent on what? (Institutions, yes, we just covered that-- What next? .....oh that's right.... educated, skilled professionals) To say "institutions are the reason <thing> functions" is quite a myopic perspective. Did an institution install the plumbing in your house? Did an institution grow the food you eat? :) I only ask that you step through your own logic.
