Personal Data
We invented the concept of Personal Data at Keith Institute and it has driven all of our work.
Definition

All data is a derivative of personal data.
Personal data is metadata that derives from living and non-living individuals.
It can be identified as information originating from an individual, transacting with other individuals or institutions.
This is true regardless of the possession or primary control of the information.

Economic
Implications
TRUTH:
Economists establish productivity as a measure of inputs.
Everything you put in, makes us grow more.
SOLUTION:
Pay people for their input, plus their work.
PROBLEM:
People are not earning higher incomes.
People don't own any stake in our productivity.
Give people ownership of their input to the productivity.
