But I guess what I am getting at is that the equation that applies in the economic era we are now entering is e=mc squared, where e = "economic value" and c relates to connectivity... "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
Migeru has some interesting ideas about analogies between thermodynamics and economics and fluid dynamics and economics.
But all of these areas are a bit far afield from my own area of expertise.
The dynamics of nonlinear differential equations might also be worth a shot (i.e. classical chaos theory - but if you google nonlinear differential equations, you'll get less pseudophilosophical crap than if you google chaos theory).
