T3 415A - Entropy and Human Activity
Examines the application of the concept of entropy to human society as a whole, through the critical reading and discussion of works by Jeremy Rifkin and Bernard Cohen.

Several topics in the physical sciences are presented in some detail to provide adequate technical background to evaluate Rifkin’s theses.
