Abstract: The sociology of education, the borderline scientific discipline that studies the social effects of the evolution of education, has acquired distinct theoretical and practical importance throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and can be regarded now, at the beginning of the third millennium, as an important scientific research area. This is due to the scientific findings produced and accumulated during this entire time in the social and natural sciences as well as in the humanities, which education is brilliantly synthesizing. We consider that, as the access of human societies, but also of nations, to scientific knowledge and information widens, the knowledge-based society, which is the current type of planet-wide human society, is in need of a new educational model, which would be part of a new economic education system, and thus comprise as individual instances those old educational model whose viability has been proven since antiquity within the respective historical epochs, geographical areas and spaces. Still, the desirable aim we have in view is that all members of the of society should have implicit knowledge of the entire range of information accumulated by humankind over time in the economic field and of the way this information is used for the positive carrying out of economic activities on the planet.
