Summary/Abstract: Paper aims at highlighting certain fundamental elements of an adequate economic theory and common culture, to be useful in human universality and in sustainable human development. Methodologically the paper starts from certain re-viewing remarks concerning the hierarchy of human needs, on the grounds of actual nowadays life in globalization and in the crisis. The angle of several educational principles is approached, with respect mainly to the high education, and with emphasis on economic education. The new market mentality is reviewed under the knowledge society requirements (human, social, economic, environmental) and in connection with genuine European roots, including value creation in the original liberalist view. A useful approach on three levels of time horizons results, consistent with issues for long and mainly very long run and with the invoked grounds.
