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]
