The seven institutions around which a capitalist economy is organized is:

1. -- perhaps our most cherished and revered social institution.
2. -- a natural human instinct that works with, rather than against capitalism.
3. -- the institution that motivates us to be ever more productive because we are producing for ourselves.
4. -- the strategy that we use to maximize our productivity.
5. -- a mutually beneficial activity that is necessary if we are going to concentrate our productive efforts on one (or a few) things.
6. -- a "tool" that society uses to avoid the incumbrances of barter.
7. -- the quantification of values.
