The article discusses the construction of the institution of financial literacy as a social game with a specific socio-conceptual system. We outlined the contours of the institution of financial literacy. The authors substantiated the thesis that the indicator of the effectiveness of such an institution is the coverage and quality (level) of involvement in the game of target groups in the status of players. We introduced a pyramid of levels (quality) of the involvement of target groups. We defend the thesis that institutions have the character of social games. Therefore, we have analysed the institutions as games, introducing the concept of “big games” in which the production and reproduction of elites are carried out. We also discuss the issues of the social construction of institutions as games, outlining the contours of the social game of “financial literacy” and identify the importance of the processes of legitimisation of games/ institutions. The stated theses urge to critically evaluate the implementation of the project named “Promotion of financial literacy of the population and the development of financial education in the Russian Federation”.
