Beyond the classical boundaries of economic theory, the perspective of institutionalism in explaining economic processes concretises multiple researches in the sphere of the biunivo relationship between institutional quality as the main determinant of economic performance. Contributions in this field revolve around introducing into the analysis concepts and principles belonging to several social sciences, aiming at a trans-disciplinary optics, the only one meant to create the possibility of an integrative explanatory vision. Our approach, starting from a non-exhaustive approach of the institutions from the perspective of sociology, on the historical thread of the evolution of ideas, fits into the above-mentioned tendency, outlining the idea that the various fields of social analysis offer unexplored perspectives of classical economic theory, but mutually reinforcing, contributing to a better understanding of the internal laws of human behavior and the way it is grasped on the existing institutional framework.
