Social entropy

Social entropy is a sociological theory that evaluates social behaviours using a method based on the second law of thermodynamics.^[1] The equivalent of entropy in a social system is considered to be wealth or residence location.^[2] The term "social entropy" was first used by physicist Peter Tait in 1874.^[3] The theory was introduced by Kenneth D. Bailey in 1990^[4] and extended recently by Roumen Tsekov, who related social entropy to liberty and economic freedom.^[5]
