Clarify the relationship with Microeconomics
To quote Michael Carter, "Microeconomic analysis of institutions has found a secure place in the economics literature". .Olsson in 1999 made the case for institutional microeconomics. I propose to add some material to link this over into the Engineering economics articles. Cheers Risk Engineer (talk) 15:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Why is there no section on Walter Hamilton?
The article discusses how Hamilton set out the original concepts that defined Institutional economics in his 1919 paper on the subject. Other than the reference in the lede, there is no other mention of Hamilton. I propose adding a paragraph on Hamilton before the material on John Commons who wrote about the topic in 1925.

Source request
"The concept of conspicuous consumption was in direct contradiction to the neoclassical view that capitalism was efficient." - Is there a reputable source for that? If conspicious consumption generates lots of utility for the consuming individual not attainable otherwise, what is inefficient about it? Bests, --Trinitrix (talk) 15:02, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Awaiting source
"Some institutionalists see Karl Marx as belonging to the institutionalist tradition, because he described capitalism as a historically-bounded social system; other institutionalist economists[who?] disagree with Marx's definition of capitalism, instead seeing defining features such as markets, money and the private ownership of production as indeed evolving over time, but as a result of the purposive actions of individuals." Continues to lack a source. Listing here for deletion if not provided over the next month. Doc H e u h (talk) 17:13, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
