Summary/Abstract: The article touches the problem of the directions of changes in the contemporary economics and its new investigation trends, as well as its coherence with the changing civilization paradigm. The malfunctions of the mainstream of the economics are presented. Basing on that an opinion is expressed that the reasons of the malfunctions have deeper roots (independent from the current economic crisis) and are connected with the currently befalling global civilization breakthrough and the state of “affected equilibrium”. The depth and breadth of the economic changes related to that make the hypothesis of the inevitability of change of the economics’ paradigm more probable.
