There are only a few writings showing intellectual links between Rudolf Steiner and Karl Polanyi.

Karl Polanyi’s version [1945] We invoked what we believed to be the three constitutive facts in the consciousness of Western man: knowledge of death, knowledge of freedom, knowledge of society.

By comparing of Karl Polanyi’s notebook which is in the archive 07/08, 183-254, and the one that is on 46/13, one realizes they are identical. Identical first of all materially, since we recognize1 the same type of notebook cover, as well as the same lines on the sheets of paper: Moreover, Continue Reading
