The Threefold Commonwealth

The concept of social threefolding emphasizes the importance of maintaining distinct spheres in society: political, economic, and cultural. Rudolf Steiner argues that when these spheres operate independently, they can effectively balance and correct each other, promoting social health and progress. Unlike laissez-faire economics, this theory advocates for impartial governmental regulation of the economy to prevent corruption and ensure fair worker protections. The goal of social threefolding is to cultivate a society where each sphere nurtures its own interests, leading to a more equitable and just system.
