This book develops a general, normative theory of social institutions, arguing that institutions exist to realize collective ends and produce collective goods. It addresses fundamental concepts like collective responsibility and institutional corruption, and applies the theory in detailed philosophical analyses of a wide range of institutions (governments, universities, welfare agencies, business corporations, police, and ICT organizations), assessing their moral foundations and ethical challenges
