The Threefold Social Order (also known as the Threefold Commonwealth)

The Threefold Social Order, developed by Rudolf Steiner, envisions society divided into three independent spheres: the economic (production and trade), the political (government and laws), and the cultural (education, arts, and media). Each operates autonomously, governed by its own principles—economic activities guided by free cooperation, politics by democracy and laws, and culture by spiritual and creative values. This separation aims to promote balance, fairness, and genuine freedom, reducing conflicts caused by overlapping interests or centralized control, fostering a society where each sphere functions best within its own domain.
