Journal of Human Thermodynamics 2013, 9: 43-54 Open Access Journal of Human Thermodynamics ISSN 1559-386X HumanThermodynamics.com/Journal.html Article Natural Law Social Science: A Method of Socioeconomics as an Exact Science Author Stephen Ternyik; Independent researcher, Munich, Germany; Email: [email protected] Received: 31 Jan 2012; Reviewed: 3 Mar-29 May 2013; Published: 31 Dec 2013 Abstract A presentation of a synopsis of socioeconomics as a potential-to-become exact science based on units of time, money, and energy is given. Introduction The social science of natural law, founded on the methodical principles of abstract theoretical reasoning and concrete rational inquiry, is practically a lost science; the basic postulate of natural law science is the one idea that natural law is valid at any cosmic time, i.e. every naturally occurring event is bound to temporality and all social systemic processes are natural events. In this context, a salient attribute is the condition that total entropy change increases for every naturally occurring event, human societal events included, social entropy always increases and there is no economic reversal to original conditions. Overview Instead of a sociology as physical sociology, as French thinker Auguste Comte envisioned in 1838, we have sociological research literature and advanced statistical essays, i.e. social science moved from the dynamic concept of natural law to static methods of perception, observation, and measurement of social events; a classical mathematization and modern computerization of the static method did also not better the research methodology, because ‘as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality’, as German physicist Albert Einstein pointed out, ‘they are not certain, and as so far they are certain, they do not refer to reality.’ The real advantage of the mathematical method over human language is the qualitative reduction of quantitative knowledge bodies into abstract symbols: formulae, equations, and calculations; Journal of Human Thermodynamics, 2013, Vol. -
Self-Interest in Six Dimensions
Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 23, Number 1 (2020): 173–189 Copyright © 2020 Dylan Pahman Self-Interest Managing Editor, Journal of Markets & Morality in Six Dimensions Research Fellow, Acton Institute Introduction It is a first principle for modern economics that people tend to make decisions based upon calculations of their self-interest. Thus, some critics believe they can topple the whole edifice of modern economics if this presumption is shown to be unsound.1 Other critics more friendly to the discipline have seen challenging self-interest as a revolutionary breakthrough.2 Indeed, Nobel laureates Amartya Sen, Richard Thaler, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, and Vernon Smith have all critiqued the presumption of self-interest in their work. This essay seeks to contribute to the philosophy of economics by both complicating and clarify- ing the topic. First, I contend that there is not now, nor has there ever been, one single defi- nition of self-interest in modern economics. Some definitions may overlap, but often writers simply assume that their definition is the same as everyone else’s, when a modest sampling of various authors reveals that this is demonstrably false. If there is no consistent definition of self-interest in economics, then critiques of one particular definition do not succeed in indicting the whole discipline.3 Lest economists breathe a sigh of relief, however, I contend that this is a much bigger problem: If researchers do not all hold the same basic definition, how are they able to contribute to the same body of scholarship? Any two studies of self- interest in the social sciences may take fundamentally incompatible definitions as given, meaning that their findings, though they may be insightful on their own, 173 Dylan Pahman are incomparable with each other—they do not advance our knowledge of the same phenomenon, despite using the same term. -

Abū Hāshim Al-Jubbāʾī's (D. 321/933) Theory of 'States' ( Aḥwāl
Abū Hāshim al-Jubbāʾī’s (d. 321/933) Theory of ‘States’ (aḥwāl) and its Adaption by Ashʿarite Theologians Jan Thiele* Abstract This chapter discusses the notion of ‘states’ (aḥwāl) in Muʿtazilite and Ashʿarite theology. The concept was borrowed from linguistics by the Muʿtazilite theolo- gian Abū Hāshim al-Jubbāʾī (d. 321/933). It helped him to explain the nature of God’s attributes without asserting the existence of co-eternal beings in God. The conception of attributes as ‘states’ became a central doctrine among Abū Hāshim’s followers, the so-called Bahshamiyya school. The theory of aḥwāl was first rejected by Ashʿarite theologians. With Abū Bakr al-Bāqillānī (d. 403/1013), however, an important representative of the school eventually came to use the term within the framework of his theory of attributes. Later, Abū l-Maʿālī al- Juwaynī (d. 478/1085–6) also followed al-Bāqillānī in adopting the notion of ḥāl. Keywords ḥāl, attributes, Muʿtazila, Ashʿariyya, Abū Hāshim al-Jubbāʾī, Bahshamiyya, al- Bāqillānī, al-Juwaynī The notion of ‘states’ (aḥwāl, sing. ḥāl) was introduced into Muʿtazilite theology by Abū Hāshim al-Jubbāʾī. By adopting this concept, he intended to solve a fun- damental problem that had challenged theologians for several generations. The principal question which Muslim theologians posed was: How can we conceive of God as one and, at the same time, describe Him by a multitude of qualities? With the concept of ḥāl, Abū Hāshim provided a category alongside the nature of mere things or entities (ashyāʾ, sing. shayʾ ). Because only things were believed to be ei- ther existent or non-existent, Abū Hāshim’s definition of God’s multiple qualities as ‘states’ helped him to avoid asserting the existence of other beings within God. -

Why Money Trickles up – Wealth & Income Distributions
Why Money Trickles Up – Wealth & Income Distributions Geoff Willis The right of Geoffrey Michael Willis to be identified as the author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. 0.0 Abstract This paper combines ideas from classical economics and modern finance with the general Lotka-Volterra models of Levy & Solomon to provide straightforward explanations of wealth and income distributions. Using a simple and realistic economic formulation, the distributions of both wealth and income are fully explained. Both the power tail and the log-normal like body are fully captured. It is of note that the full distribution, including the power law tail, is created via the use of absolutely identical agents. It is further demonstrated that a simple scheme of compulsory saving could eliminate poverty at little cost to the taxpayer. 0.1 Contents 0.0 Abstract 0.1 Contents 0.2 Introduction 0.3 Structure of Paper 1.1 Wealth & Income Data – Empirical Information 1.2 Lotka-Volterra and General Lotka-Volterra Systems 1.3 Wealth & Income Models - Modelling 1.4 Wealth & Income Models - Results 1.5 Wealth & Income Models - Discussion 1.6 Enter Sir Bowley - Labour and Capital 1.7 Modifying Wealth and Income Distributions 11.

The data and modelling suggest that a simple economic system might provide a tractable model for giving an exact statistical mechanical solution for an 'out of equilibrium' flow model. This might also include an exact mathematical definition of a 'dissipative structure' derived from maximum entropy considerations. This paper is primarily a qualitative discussion of how such a mathematical proof might be achieved.

Statistical Mechanics of Money, Wealth, and Income
REVIEWS OF MODERN PHYSICS, VOLUME 81, OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2009 Colloquium: Statistical mechanics of money, wealth, and income Victor M. Yakovenko Department of Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742-4111, USA J. Barkley Rosser, Jr. Department of Economics, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia 22807, USA ͑Published 2 December 2009͒ This Colloquium reviews statistical models for money, wealth, and income distributions developed in the econophysics literature since the late 1990s. By analogy with the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution of energy in physics, it is shown that the probability distribution of money is exponential for certain classes of models with interacting economic agents. Alternative scenarios are also reviewed. Data analysis of the empirical distributions of wealth and income reveals a two-class distribution. The majority of the population belongs to the lower class, characterized by the exponential ͑“thermal”͒ distribution, whereas a small fraction of the population in the upper class is characterized by the power-law ͑“superthermal”͒ distribution. The lower part is very stable, stationary in time, whereas the upper part is highly dynamical and out of equilibrium.
