It is my contention that it is impossible to solve problems until they have been accurately defined.  And sometime in my mid-30s, I decided that the Institutionalists had the best toolbox for defining problems.  It took that long because I had to burn through my religious upbringing and the pseudo-theologies like Marxism.

It should be noted that while Institutional Analysis is powerful and accurate, it is insanely difficult to do well.
