message: Does anyone know why Roegen was added to his name?  Not a matter of great importance, but one can't help but wonder, and googling has not revealed the answer. Languagehat (talk) 15:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

message: My heartiest thanks to whoever was primarily responsible for this article.  I've added the 2 major awards named above that Georgescu received.  In addition, I took the liberty of adding "statistics" as one of his fields shown in the bio summary box.  That's consistent with the numerous mentions of the field in the text of the article, and for decades he taught the Economics Dept.'s legendary 2-semester statistics course required for all students in the econ Ph.D. program.  I also took the liberty of amending his faculty rank at Vanderbilt to "professor of economics," vs. just "professor".  (At least that's the title he held while I was a grad student there 1970-74.)  I apologize for the numerous edits it took for me to get the syntax correct for citing the Web sites that document those 2 awards.  I'm not very experienced at entering citations, especially to Web sites, and unfortunately, the "Preview" feature doesn't show how the citation will appear, only the text. Samuelson's preface to NGR's Entropy Law ... Analytical Issues... has a few choice compliments about him that the article should include, and I'll try to get those in soon. --Jackftwist (talk) 22:00, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I added a new section to be expanded. This is a stub of French version of the following section: fr:Nicholas_Georgescu-Roegen#Travaux. Translation needed. -- Ledjazz (talk) 18:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stub section "Work" 

message: I have added a 'multiple issues' template for the following reasons: The source on Ich, Clausius, die Entropie und die Ökonomen ('I, Clausius, Entropy, and the Economists') by Ulrich Müller-Herold is unreliable and appears to be self-published. It is written in a reflective ironic style, pretending to be autobiographical notes by Rudolf Clausius himself (who died in 1888).
Georgescu's proposed fourth law of thermodynamics is only mentioned, and not explained in the article text, leaving the general reader in the dark as to what it is.
According to my knowledge, the concept of enthalpy is not generally used in environmental economics.
Contrary to what is stated in the article text, entropy always has a clear trend: It is increasing. This is standard physics.
According to my best judgement, the text in the last paragraph in the section is nothing but a hoax, and should therefore be deleted altogether. I would like a second opinion on this, though...
