Key ideas

What this publication argues

  • The central measure is the durable power remaining with a person after help or investment ends.
  • Knowledge, health, judgment, skill, character, and productive ability are treated as primary capital.
  • Protection in the present should be joined to greater personal power for the future.
  • The conclusion is conditional on constitutional rights, due process, privacy, voluntary personal participation, explainability, audits, and evidence from pilots.
