Abstract

The article shows a certain approach to the study of social and economic systems (on the example of the “physical economy” concept by Lyndon LaRouche), the philosophical basis of which are the works of Nicholas of Cusa, and the epitome of design — tensor analysis of networks by Gabriel Kron. It also highlights the prospects for further development of this approach and its application.

KEYWORDS: physical economy, the philosophy of Nicholas of Cusa, the measuring principle, tensor analysis of the networks by G. Kron, theory of dissipative structures, idea of nature’s progress.

Abstract

The article considers the use of thermodynamic methods in solving social and economic problems. In this case, it offers streaming energy model of the world economy. The notion of the generalized efficiency or coefficient of technology perfection is described. The article also overviews the prospects of application of the energy approach to the economy. The article was written in 1963, first published in 2002.

KEYWORDS: physical economy, economy as an open thermodynamic system, an elementary technological process, coefficient of technology perfection.

Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of providing basic financial and economic categories in terms of universal spatiotemporal variables. It offers basic equation of final product cost dynamics, expressed in both financial and energy measure. It is shown that the flow of resources consumed, produced and sold (income and losses) can be measured and expressed in terms of power (kilowatt), which allows to calculate the capacity of any socio-economic object. There is no need to resort to subjective assessments that can significantly distort the picture, especially in crisis situations, creating the illusion of growth and development.

KEYWORDS: projecting, financial system, use value, exchange value, spatiotemporal measures-laws, power of currency, currencies, financial and energy measures, speculative capital, dynamic equation of the final product cost.
