Abstract: The present model of economic life drifts away from the requirements of the health of the whole living, of the natural environment and of the environment created by humans. Economy, as a living body, created by man in conditions of limitation and uncertainty, must be in permanent harmony with the ecologycal equilibria and the humans aspirtations towards a decent life. It is essential to learn unlearning ourselves of the theories, concepts, criteria and indicators that put in danger (through their evolution) the health of humans, families, communities, societies and natural environment. The actual global crisis is the beginning of the unlearning process. The authors appreciate that ecolonomy can be the beginning of the unlearning process towards a new way of thinking and living on Planet Earth. A healthy economy is based on the harmony between social flexibility and ecological flexibility as a lasting foundation for human life in decency, dignity and responsibility.
