Abstract
The paper shows that one of the ways to overcome the crisis of economic science can be the synthesis of alternative currents and schools based on an approach using the terminology and methodology of entropy. The dynamics of growth in the number of publications of an economic orientation using the terminology and methodology of entropy is shown. The reasons for the attractiveness of the entropy approach in economic research associated with the growing interest in environmental problems and interdisciplinary research are revealed. The directions of application of terminology and methodology of entropy in economic research, the results achieved by representatives of these directions, are generalized. The most common mistakes and speculations in the application of the entropy approach in economic research are revealed. The specificity of economic systems is revealed, which manifests itself in belonging to the class of living systems with feedback and the possibility of accumulating negative entropy, and determining the possibilities and limitations of using the entropy approach. Variants of using the entropy approach in economic research are shown, the pros and cons of these options are indicated.
