Thoughts about Measurement and Relevance of Entropy in Economics and Sociology

Assuming the existence of Hegel‟s consistent overall picture of the concept of entropy, the author transfers the physical term of entropy into economics and sociology and illuminates the relevance of second law of thermodynamics within both disciplines. Basis of translation is the present status of research about economic and financial order in the real equal natural world with energy as accepted means of payment instead of human money. The approach equals a translation of the original meaning of physical terms and measures into equivalent ones of economics and sociology. Result: The change of entropy within a closed economic system can be measured by the change of volume of money in circulation in percent, and the change of entropy of human society by the change of number of population in percent. Following this concept, economic relevance of the second law of entropy is: Volume of money in circulation is never decreasing and hence forces economic growth as well as inflation. And sociological relevance of this law is: Migrations always take course from populous parts of the world into parts with low population and can‟t be stopped by external political measures efficiently.
