Abstract

Trailing the modern ideas of sociophysics, a minimalistic thermodynamic model of society is proposed, which consists of three social ingredients: people, economy, and entropy. Employing the universal van der Waals equation of state, many important relationships are discovered, including laws of econophysics. The main conclusion is that the irreversible social evolution obeys the Second Law of thermodynamics, which governs the striving for social liberty and economic freedom.
