In fact, one sure clue to the rate of entropy is relative inflation, for inflation, after all, is a measure of how much its costs to do the same thing today compared with yesterday. The difference is a form of entropy and at the top of the list you'll find academia. It shouldn't really surprise when you realize that these campuses have been actually teaching the entropic lifestyle for years. It was America's business schools that spread the word that management was an overarching skill that eliminated the need to know anything about the particular product or service that was being managed. It was agricultural schools that fostered entropic farming with its emphasis on pesticides and capital intensiveness.
Scale plays an important role in entropy.
Roughly speaking, the larger a system or institution, the more wasted energy. This applies to governments, corporate bureaucracies, or the limousines their leaders ride. Part of this is due to the fact that as a system becomes larger, a proportionately greater amount of energy has to be devoted to keeping the system alive rather than doing what the system is meant to be doing. If you think about it, I am sure you can find in your own experience numerous examples of the increase in human entropy. An easy test is to write down all the institutions, committees or groups with which you have some affiliation.
