Abstract

Institutionalism and institutionalism are manifest signs of a deep systemic and systematic crisis; political, economic, sociological and other institutionalism and neo-institutionalism. In other words, institutions, of any type, cut, color or hue, are self-referential entities: they only know about themselves, and they only love themselves. Self-referentiality is the abstract expression of a gross logical error: tautology. In turn, a logical error is nothing more than a mistake in a way of life. Institutions have precisely defined themselves in terms of Mission, Vision, Objectives, Strategy, Leadership, Anthem, Flag and other gadgets. As a sociologist warned very early (Coser, 1999), institutions are voracious.
