Government buildings represent the law - the ultimate and legitimate power for a society. Dickens identifies that these buildings (our government) are doing nothing but perpetuating the evil of self interst and capitalism. The schools are even more so distrubing because they are creating the minds of the future. In the city of Coketown, Bounderby is using the education system to manufacture students that do not believe in imagination but solely hard work and self-interest that will eventually be loyal workers in his factories. The churches are absolutely most disturbing because they are supposed to stand for the most fundamental existence of men. Bounderby's influence and pressnece in the churches is a defemation to the true meaning of religion.
In essence, these institutions are no different than Bounderby's factories except for they manufacture workers rather than products. These social insititutions are manufacturing slaves for his factories. Dickens uses this situation to call out the policies and laws that protect self interest and greed, the education that teaches these ideals as right, and the churches that benefit from giving its members the excuse to live only for yourself.
