Rudolf Steiner is well-known as a seer, but here the focus is on his economics. Perhaps the only seer also to be an economist, Steiner’s work throws light on many of the problems that face us today, problems that we cannot solve unless we take hold of the economic life in a conscious, human way and resist the temptation to defer such matters to a combination of market forces and the state. This book looks at the contribution of Rudolf Steiner to economics through essays that range from his overall conception of society and socio-economic evolution to detailed commentary on matters such as profits, unemployment and banking. His contribution spanned from the conceptual to the practical, reflecting his own experience. It includes a special chapter that shows Rudolf Steiner ‘at work’ in doing what today would be called restructuring exercise.
