requires fundamental changes in economic theory and practice. We argue that without energizing tension between ideology and utopia and the existence of some kind of shock waves, the deep change process will not accelerate. The prerequisite is, in other words, more focus on utopian narratives and a development in consciousness that will make us able to be aware of the bundle of shocks going on worldwide today. To stop the change process from taking the wrong direction it is important that we develop visions (utopias) that are clear enough to serve as beacons.

Even if both green economy and ecological economics are based on a serious intention to solve the serious environmental and social problems escalating in the world today we argue that the major challenges in economy, environment and society require solutions that exceed the existing ideology. In addition, we have to go far beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries. To solve the interconnected complex of challenges we need solutions crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries. •
