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]
