Termodynamika zwornikiem spójnego systemu ekonomicznego
Thermodynamics as the keystone of a coherent economic system

Summary/Abstract: The science of economics lacks an unambiguously strict theory of basic categories, whichproduces the effect of the inconsistency of the whole theory. This state of affairs is a consequence of theambiguity of basic terms such as capital, labour, value, money, and consumption. This situation maybe positively altered by the inclusion of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, these includethe principle that capital does not arise from nothing and the famous second principle, accordingto which capital and value are subject to spontaneous, random dispersion. These assumptionsmade it possible to develop a model of capital and then a theory of human capital measurement.Outlining the framework of a coherent economic theory that incorporates thermodynamic conceptsas foundational principles is the main objective of this article. The consistent use of thermodynamicsmade it possible to reinterpret the system of basic concepts, as well as to solve cognitive problems inthe field of capital and labour theory and sources of profit. The strict definition and revelation of theeconomic fundamentals makes it possible to develop empirical research in the field of human capitaland fair wages for labour. The results of the presented empirical research indicate the consistencyof the presented theories.
