- Entropy:_A_New_World_View abstract "Entropy: A New World View is a non-fiction book by Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard, with an Afterword by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. First published by The Viking Press, New York in 1980 (ISBN 0-670-29717-8).A paper-back edition was published by Bantam in 1981, with a paper-back Revised Edition, by Bantam, in 1989 (ISBN 0-553-34717-9).In the book the authors seek to analyze the world's economic and social structures by using the second law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of entropy. The authors argue that humanity is wasting resources at an increasing rate, which if unchecked will lead to the destruction of civilization, which has happened before on a smaller scale for past societies. The book promotes the use of sustainable energy sources and slow resource consumption as the solution to delay or forestall death by entropy.Critics: Rifkin's 1980 view assume that entropy is disorder. However modern view which is based on information theory treat entropy as uncertainty. The later approach explains how in some cases entropy increases order. In fact, order spontaneously increases in the world all time in evolution and also in economy that is constantly improved. Therefore Rifkin's book is controversial. See \"Entropy God's Dice Game\" by Kafri and Kafri.".
