a life-affirming economy


Rudolf Steiner indicated, near the turn of the 20th Century, that everything in the cosmos is a kind of hologram of everything else. And everything is threefold. One need only look to the human being's threefold nature to see a microcosm of everything.

Human cultural life is threefold:  social, artistic and economic. In a health, threefold social order, the economic realm exists solely to serve the social (schools, roads, power, etc) and artistic (creativity, self expression, spirit, art, laughter and more) realms. In a healthy Threefold Social Order the economic realm exists in perfect equipoise the the other realms of culture.

Fernanda has a little different take on generating a life-affirming economic realm but she has great insight into economics. And there is no one right way.

This TedX talk is worth a look and listen.
