11.2 Thermodynamic Interpretation of Value
One can note that all the artificial things around us have special forms and are adjusted
for use in special aims. This means that there is some complexity in the environment,
a complexity that is created by man and for man. A human being is encircled by
artificial products that can be sorted and counted, so one considers the amounts of
quantities in natural units of measurement, to be given
Q1, Q2,..., Qn.
All these objects: buildings, machines, vehicles, sanitation, clothes, home appliances
and so on make up the national wealth, which can be characterised from different
points of view. However, a general characteristic of artificial objects appears to be
value. As a specific concept of economy, value should not be reduced to any other
known concepts, but, so as processes of production can be considered as processes
of transformation of ‘wild’ forms of substances into forms useful to people (mainly,
without variation of internal energy), it is possible to look for analogies in thermodynamics.
