  The report attempts of apply econophysics concepts to the Eurozone crisis. It
starts by examining the idea of conservation laws as applied to market
economies. It formulates a measure of financial entropy and gives numerical
simulations indicating that this tends to rise. We discuss an analogue for free
energy released during this process. The concepts of real and symbolic
appropriation are introduced as a means to analyse debt and taxation.
  We then examine the conflict between the conservation laws that apply to
commodity exchange with the exponential growth implied by capital accumulation
and how these have necessitated a sequence of evolutionary forms for money, and
go on to present a simple stochastic model for the formation of rates of
interest and a model for the time evolution of the rate of profit.
  Finally we apply the conservation law model to examining the Euro Crisis and
the European Stability pact, arguing that if the laws we hypothesise actually
hold, then the goals of the stability pact are unobtainable.
