From Alvin and Heidi Tofflers' book Revolutionary Wealth
Today institutions are evolving/changing at vastly different rates:
100 mph - The company or business
90 mph - "Civil society" (NGO's, pro/anti-businee coalitions, prof groups, sports federations, Catholic orders, Buddhist nunneries, pliastics manufacturing associations, cults, tax haters, whale lovers, etc)
60 mph - The American family
30 mph - Labor unions
25 mph - government bureaucracies and regulatory agencies
5 mph - IGOs - UN, IMF, WTO, US Postal union
3 mph - US Political institutions - Congress, white house, political parties
1 mph - The law. Two parts: 1. the courts, bar associations, schools, firms and 2. the body of law these organizations interpret.
