Â"GǪ this book reminds us all of our humanity, where showing respect for each other 'whilst reaching out in collaboration and cooperation'rather than competing, we can build a safer, far more harmonious future for everyone.a, "Free, Mutual and Equal shows a way ahead for rebalancing society through a cooperative commonwealth economy based on 'voluntary socialism, ' and a rights-based state and a flourishing civil society, all working for the common good." -- David Drew , MP, Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs, UK "Full of concrete, exciting examples...a golden opportunity to re-imagine Europe and the world." -- Nicanor Perlas , Right Livelihood Award, 2003 "Celebrates the growing diversity of ways to secure a pluralist commonwealth. Land reform, democratic ways to control money, and cooperative ownership are exemplified as core foundations for building a new economy for the common good." -- Pat Conaty , Common Futures
Synopsis
"We are living in a crisis-ridden 'Brexit and Trump' time, with the rise again of toxic nationalism and populism, and with both Britain and the USA and also countries of the EU exploring their social futures. This affords a golden opportunity for re-imagining a Europe--and a world--with distinct-but-connected, vibrant narratives of cultural flourishing, of respecting fundamental human rights, of thriving social businesses, and of care for the planet, which is our common home." -- Nicanor Perlas (from his foreword) The brutal implementation of market fundamentalism generates massive human insecurity and inequality. People feel precarious and angry, and afraid for their jobs, homes, children, health, wellbeing, identity, and lifeways. Left/right pendulum politics swings from "more market" to "more state." Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) saw the dangers of this unstable "market/state" duopoly. He suggested the radical conditions and three-way dynamics of politics, economy, and culture. He saw the urgent need for creating the conditions for lasting peace when campaigning for a threefold "commonwealth" society in war-torn Germany of 1917-1919. He saw self-determination for individuals as healthy, but prophetically saw "national self-determination" under Versailles as a recipe for toxic nationalism and more wars. His alternative was a dynamic society based on mutuality, equality, freedom, and earth-care for the wellbeing of people and the planet. This anthology of twenty inspiring and practical chapters draws on Steiner's social vision--from Triodos' ethical banking to land for people, biodynamic farming, freeing schools, subtle advocacy, associative economics, and a sustainable, biodynamic food revolution., Free, Equal and Mutual is a centenary anthology based on Rudolf Steiner's vision for a free, equal and mutual society. In it, articles from twenty contributors discuss ways to use social threefolding as a launching pad for social action, research, and change. Our market dominated society is ......, Free, Equal and Mutual is a centenary anthology based on Rudolf Steiner's vision for a free, equal and mutual society. In it, articles from twenty contributors discuss ways to use social threefolding as a launching pad for social action, research, and change. Our market dominated society is in meltdown with resurgent nationalism, global warming, rising inequality, and blowback from wars. Rudolf Steiner's free, equal and mutual vision offers a timely alternative for rebalancing society. This pushes back from the market, from politics and culture. How? Healthy boundaries are reasserted between the private business sector, the public state sector and the plural cultural sector. This shapes a dynamic threefold society based on mutuality, equality and freedom - for people and planet. Rudolf Steiner campaigned for threefold society in the war-torn Germany of 1917-19, activated by the compelling need to create the conditions for lasting peace. He recognised that the dynamics of politics, economic life, and culture were very different. He saw self determination for people as healthy, but prophetically saw national self-determination under Versailles as a recipe for toxic nationalism and more war.
