In this book, Seumas Miller examines the moral foundations of
contemporary social institutions. Offering an original general
theory of social institutions, he posits that all social
institutions exist to realize various collective ends, indeed, to
produce collective goods. He analyses key concepts such as
collective responsibility and institutional corruption. Miller also
provides distinctive special theories of particular institutions,
including governments, welfare agencies, universities, police
organizations, business corporations, and communications and
information technology entities. These theories are philosophical
and, thus, foundational and synoptic in character. They are
normative accounts of a sampling of contemporary social
institutions, not descriptive accounts of all social institutions,
both past and present. Miller also addresses various ethical
challenges confronting contemporary institutional designers and
policymakers, including the renovation of the international
financial system, the 'dumbing down' of the media, the challenge of
world poverty, and human rights infringements by security agencies
combating global terrorism.
