Abstract
In the 1930s Danish author and painter Johannes Hohlenberg (1881-1960)
published several essays in defense of an unconditional income for all. These original
writings, strongly influenced by Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy, are not widely
known. This article makes two of Hohlenberg's essays on this topic available in
English translation for the first time. The first part of this article introduces
Hohlenberg's ideas, followed in section two by English translations of the two
Hohlenberg essays: Samfundsarven (The Heritage of Society) (1934) and Dersom nogen
ikke vil arbejde, så skal han heller ikke have føden (He who Does not Work, Neither Shall
He Eat) (1937).
