  14. Implications Even in totally utilitarian terms: The IMFTWW is the Greatest Generator of Social and Human Capital. Three predominantly relational institutions: Family, church and school. Two primarily instrumental institutions: Marketplace and Government. There is a vertical interdependence between the major macro institutions and the individual, the couple, the family and the local community. There is a horizontal interdependence of each institution (or task) on each other.

  15. Next Questions What is the nature of social policy if it does not have increased belonging at every level as its primary target ? What is it about? When we did not have social policy we had more belonging. Is there a connection? Is culture primarily about fostering belonging? Is there something about the nature of social policy that undermines the primary social need to belong? What is the relationship of social policy to societal culture?

  16. Conclusion Man thrives the more he belongs. Societies thrive the more that families belong. The primary belonging relationship is marriage. Rejection between parents weakens. The child has a fundamental, inalienable right to the marriage of his parents.
