The Renewal of the Social Organism
GA 24

The most recent third edition of GA 24 has been published in a modified form under the new title In Ausführung der Dreigliederung des Sozialen Organismus (1920), Aufrufe, Flugschriften zur Dreigliederung (1919-1922).

The texts related to World War I formerly in this volume are now included in a separate volume entitled Thoughts During the Time of the War and Additional Texts on the Events of the World War GA 19.

Together with The Key Points of the Social Question GA 23, these documents represent all of Steiner's written work in connection with the Threefold Movement.

Part I is an independent work: Ausführung der Dreigliederung des sozialen Organismus (Stuttgart 1920).

Part II contains additional essays from the journals Dreigliederung, Soziale Zukunft and Das Goetheanum, as well as leaflets, appeals and announcements. In the third edition these documents have been rearranged in chronological order rather than thematically.

The Implementation of the Threefold Social Organism
A complete translation of the entire German volume. Translated by Steiner Online Library

Spiritual Life, Civil Rights, Industrial Economy
A single essay appearing originally in the third issue of The Social Future, the journal for Swiss League for the Threefold Order). In this form it is probable that a large number of English readers for the first time encountered the proposals by which alone, in Dr. Rudolf Steiner's judgment, the civilized countries of the world can grapple hopefully with the political, economic, and social problems, the solution of which seems at present beyond the power of every one of them alike. A later translation appeared in The Renewal of the Social Organism above.

Capital and Credit

This single essay first appeared in The Threefold Commonwealth, London, Volume 1, 1921, and then in Anthroposophical Quarterly, 1927, Volume 2, Number 3, Michaelmas. The translator is unknown.
