When I was chief economist of the World Bank some 20 years ago, we would lecture countries about creating good institutions, and at the time we looked to the United States as a model and paragon. Well-performing societies had both  the rule of law was necessary, but norms respected by all citizens had greater flexibility. One couldnt encode in laws everything implied by good behavior. The world was just too complex and ever-changing. This is still a country that is one-third conservative, one-third liberal and one-third in the middle. We werent certain how you created good institutions, we couldnt even define what the term meant precisely, but you knew it when you saw it.
