All this would seem to be easy enough to appreciate. And yet institutional fundamentalism is very often implied by the nature of the chosen institution-focused advocacy, even in political philosophy. For example, in his deservedly famous exploration of morals by agreement', David Gauthier relies on agreements between different parties that take the form of accord on institutional arrangements, and this is supposed to take us all the way to social justice. The insti-tutions are given an overwhelming priority - a priority that may seem immune to the nature of the actual consequences generated by the agreed institutions. As it happens, Gauthier relies heavily on the mar¬ket economy doing its job in producing efficient arrangements, on which the parties seeking agreement are imagined to focus, and once the 'right' institutions have been set up, we are supposed to be in the secure hands of these institutions. Gauthier argues lucidly that the setting up of the right institutions, liberates the parties from having to be constantly constrained by morality as well. The chapter of Gauthier's book where all this is explained is aptly named 'The Market: Freedom from Morality'.
