The main objective of the present approach is, first of all, to analyse the "transaction costs" concept and then to prove scientifically the relation transaction costs – institutions. If institutional economics represent the analyse domain within transaction costs have a good record, then the economist must necessarily establish this concept place and functionality. The originality element is represented by the introduction of a certain terminological and factual distinction between market transaction costs, whose presence within human society is a natural and inevitable one, and imposed transaction costs, whose ground is out of market social order, being the result of constraints involved by any state institutional arrangement.
