Annals - Economy Series, 2013, vol. 4, 6-11 Abstract: The authors consider that the current global crisis has an ecolonomic character in the sense that it negatively affects all parties from all common living beginnig with the people and their families, communities and business organizations, state institutions and continuing with ecology of the living world. Such a disorder of “comeostasis”at the level of the “whole common living”is the result of excesses and deficits of human and institutional behavior which, proplonged in time, beyond the “critical mass, are dangerous for the “health of whole common living”. The holistic researches highlight that the current ecolonomic crisis is the result of the “fall of man”, mainly caused by the excesses of freedom and deficits of responsability. These cause a pathological work, not always a vocation type, a disproportionate evolution of society, knowledge “of up”and the morality of its use “in dow”, a promotion of science beyond humanism, an increase of markets without morality, an overconsumption “uncontrolled by biology and moral” for several million of people, at the same time with a subconsumption that jeopardize the survival for few billion of people. These opposites of our evolution did not fall from heaven, they are not “gifts from God”, of unfavorable nature. They are the result of some human and institutional behaviors that are based on the opposite education. Therefore, we need to re-spiritualize education based on the principle of harmony, to re-integrate in this invention of human society love, true knowledge and faith in the certainty of hope. Education, in terms of harmony, will integrate all the values of meaning, such as “maturing freedom in responsability, humanity, solidarity and social communion”, is vital for teaching people to live their own life in Truth, Goodness and Beauty. A new education means, at universal scale, the transition to the ecolonomic society in which the win-win peinciple becomes the golden rule of life, in the unavoidable circumstances posed by our choices. Therefore, education on the meaning of life and for life has to be an education in love, to be able to harmonize with ourselves, with others and with the environment. Such an eduction will focus on the professional man, the economist, the engineer, the doctor, the carpenter, the electircian etc, who loves what he does and he does what he loves, becoming himself the change in better that he wants to see in his outside world. Please allow us to worship in the spirit of this vision the Anthem of Harmony as a substance of transformation of meaning that are included in realizing an ecolonomic society, based on a healthy education.
