Abstract: Since the outbreak of global financial crisis in 2008, the economic circles had been reflecting on economics continuously. The validity of macroeconomic theories and models as well as“the efficient market hypothesis”had become the focus of the debate.There was a significant divergence of the validity of fiscal policy and the setting of inflation target on economic policy.There had been continuous disputes on the relation between mathematics and economics as well as the method of economic modeling in methodology. However, the future development direction of economics had been showed in the reflection. Theoretically some financial and more realistic factors should be included in economic theories and models,and the models of dealing with these factors are to be gradually diversified. A set of theoretical framework should be urgently developed to provide a basis for fiscal policy and a wider range of monetary policy. Monetary policy would return to the tradition of diversified tools. Respecting method, diversified technical tools in a more extensive sense beyond mathematics would play a positive role and models should become more realistic and complex. Besides the external impact of crisis, the redirection of economics would possibly need corresponding transformation of internal institutional incentive structure in the subject.
