About

Dr Christopher Houghton Budd

An internationally renowned economic and monetary author and historian specialising in Rudolf Steiner’s contribution to our understanding of modern economic life, especially as regards macro-financial issues, school financing, financial literacy and such concerns as farm succession and farming economics generally. His many workshops continue to involve installations and the use of pastel-illustrated black panels – an important medium well-known for its use by Steiner and Josef Beuys in their own expositions on economics.

Entrepreneur, academic and long-time student of Rudolf Steiner’s economic ideas, especially as they relate to the English-speaking world, Christopher has a PhD in Finance and Banking from London’s City University. As well as his own academic publications, he has edited many books by himself and colleagues in the Economics Conference of the Goetheanum, which explore in depth the socio-economic ideas of Rudolf Steiner.
