Macroknow measures and publishes business indexes and vital intelligence about what's on people's mind – worldwide:

Macroknow Intellectual Intelligence (MI2) is the Web-based system that Macroknow uses to measure and publish psycho-social indexes for use in business, finance, economic, political, and intelligence and security applications.

Macroknow flagship publications include Much Mind and Mind Chronicle.

While investors in markets value shares, Macroknow measures and analyzes what people are thinking in terms of what they value most and least – every day, on a global scale.

People desire more freedom, more good, more truth, more money, and more justice (universal desires). They desire less slavery, less evil, less deceit, and less debt (universal aversions). The desires can be facilitated or obstructed by powers – corporations, economic institutions, social institutions, science and technology, religion, law –, and world events.

What people feel and think and why reflect and affect world events and economic uncertainty; and high levels of economic uncertainty can be exploited for Good or Bad, including terrorism.

The business success and security of organizations depend on knowing and understanding what people's thought variables are, the intensities of the thought variables, their correlations, their probabilities, and, most important, their business, financial, intelligence, and security meanings – especially the constructive and destructive factors, the business opportunities and threat warnings, and the security alerts that require immediate executive attention.
