Inspiration

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was an Austrian philosopher and scientist whose work influenced a number of fields, including agriculture, education, medicine, science, architecture, spiritual development, and social theory. In 1922, he gave a course of lectures on economics, which served as the framework of associative economic ideas that inspired the founding of RSF Social Finance.
