Caro Joseph, grazie per le Tue parole. All'inizio degli anni Ottanta ho introdotto il concetto-processo di informazione (azione del dare o prendere forma nel tempo) In "Economia dei beni culturali"(1983), divenuto "Economia del patrimonio architettonico-ambientale" nel 1989 (FrancoAngeli, Milano), in cui fra l'altro definisco i beni culturali neg-entropici. Inoltre ho impiegato la parola composta tras-in-form-azione (azione del dare o prendere forma nel tempo che non può non tras-formarsi) alla città durante lo svolgimento del corso di economia urbana e regionale nella Facoltà di Architettura di Palermo, nell'A.a. 1984-85. Ma quel che conta di più è l'avere concepito l'attività di produzione economica (in senso generale) come un processo di tras-informazione i cui "input" (materia, energia e informazione) e "output" (materia, energia e informazione) sono neg-entropia ed entropia. Quindi la mia teoria del valore (che non vale solo per l'economia in senso stretto) può definirsi- in modo semplice- combinazione creativa di energia e informazione e, in modo più complesso, triangolo dei tre surplus o neg-entropie: termodinamici o naturali, eco-biologici e storico-culturali. Sicché la teoria del valore-utilità marginale degli economisti neoclassici è sorpassata e da buttare alle ortiche. Difatti la "Nuova economia" è in-centrata sull'episteme psico-fisica,semiotico-ermeneutica e biologico-tecnologica. Insomma, penso davvero di avere inventato una nuova scienza dell'economia o economia della scienza. Per questo appena Pedro ha ri-parlato di informazione sono stato stimolato a mandare il messaggio precedente. Ribadisco, però, che non intendo menare alcun vanto. Cordiali saluti. Francesco Rizzo.
