ECONOMIC SOLIDARITY in business
CIVIL EQUALITY in government
CULTURAL FREEDOM in education and the arts and sciences
LET US TRY COMMON SENSE AND RID OURSELVES OF CORRUPTION THROUGH A NEW TRI-SECTORAL IMAGINATION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.
Can we truly foster freedom of belief, religion, and educational choice; extend equality before the law and in politics; and create an economy which serves people and the earth?

“Social ThreeFolding is a concept introduced by Rudolf Steiner in I919. Rather than being an attempt to devise an artificially imposed social programme, it sets out to establish actual laws that work in and to clarify and enhance these. Threefold society consists of three, clearly delineated and autonomous realms; spiritual and cultural life, the proper domain of liberty; political life, where equality should rightfully prevail; and economic life where principles of fraternity should be upheld. Whereas the slogan of the French Revolution - ‘Liberty, equality, fraternity‘ - sought to apply these principles in a general way to all society, Steiner regards each principle as having its different and specific sphere of application." From: Anthroposophy A-Z, A Glossary of Terms Relating to Rudolf Steiner's Spiritual Philosophy, Henk Van Dort, Sophia Books, Forest Row, East Sussex.

Economic life concerns transforming what nature provides in the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms into commodities that meet human needs. From the threefold perspective, economic activity should be organized and carried out in the spirit of brotherhood with the objective of meeting the needs of all human beings on the planet.
Rudolf Steiner maintained that the entire economic life was encompassed by what he called the “Law of True Price.” He formulated the law in these words: “A true price is forthcoming when a man receives, as counter-value for the product he has made, an amount sufficient to enable him to satisfy the whole of his needs, including of course the needs of his dependents, until he will again have completed a like product.” (2)
The middle realm of the threefold social organism is the legal domain (also called the political or rights domain). Its role is to establish laws that govern the behavior of all adults equally.

The middle realm of the threefold social organism is the legal domain (also called the political or rights domain). Its role is to establish laws that govern the behavior of all adults equally. From the threefold perspective this domain is exclusively about human rights and, in particular, there is no room here for business entities. From this it follows that there is no place in the legal domain for corporations as legal persons. Regulation of business life is a matter for associations of the economic life. Political questions concerning human rights and obligations are the sole subject matter of the political\rights domain. The laws formulated in this domain should be formulated independent of economic concerns and power. This means that economic resources should play no role in deciding the rights, laws and obligations of human beings. Once rights and laws have been established society must have the power to enforce them and, consequently, police power belongs to the legal domain. To the extent that it is necessary to defend the rights from foreign intrusion, military power also belongs here. (2)

Culture, in the widest sense, is about the cultivation and recognition of human capacities. Human capacities are the spiritual endowments that rain in upon the earth with the births of new human beings. Finding the best way of unfolding these capacities is the task of the cultural domain. The key ingredient for this is freedom. The archetypal picture of this freedom-in-operation is the teacher with his students. In unfolding this relationship only the spiritual/mental faculties, feelings and insights of the teacher and students should come into play. Steiner described this freedom in a newspaper article:
“[The cultural life] aims at a form of cooperation among men to be based entirely on the free intercourse and free association of individuality with individuality. Here human individuality will not be forced into an institutional mold. How one person assists another, how one helps another advance will simply arise from what one, through his own abilities and accomplishments, is able to be for the other. It is no great wonder that presently many people are still able to imagine nothing but a state of anarchy as a result of such a free form of human relations in the social order’s spiritual-cultural branch. Those who think so simply do not know what powers of man’s innermost nature are hindered from expanding when man is forced to develop in the pattern into which the state and economic system mold him. Such powers, deep within human nature, cannot be developed by institutions, but only through what one being calls forth in perfect freedom from another being.” (2)
