Institutional economics, known by some as institutionalist political economy, focuses on understanding the role of the evolutionary process and the role of institutions in shaping economic behaviour. Its original focus lay in Thorstein Veblen's instinct-oriented dichotomy between technology on the one side and the "ceremonial" sphere of society on the other. New institutional economics focuses on the role of institutions in reducing transaction costs. Heterodox institutional economics emphasizes a broader study of institutions and views markets as a result of the complex interaction of these various institutions (e.g. individuals, firms, states, social norms). Law and economics has been a major theme since the publication of the Legal Foundations of Capitalism by John R. Commons in 1924. Behavioral economics is another hallmark of institutional economics based on what is known about psychology and cognitive science, rather than simple assumptions of economic behavior.

I think that today we are -more- violent as a whole than the levels of violence that usually occurred among peoples with more cohesive religious, familial, and cultural bonds to those around them. An example would be how violence is carried out in tribal cultures that engage in very small scale skirmish-style violence that is and was often related to spiritual beliefs.
