Social entropy

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