I wouldn't call it entropy exactly, but this is also the theory behind Joseph Tainter's _Collapse of Complex Societies_. He proposes that too much governmental overhead through accretion of laws and bureaucracy is the cause (aside from obvious alternatives like being defeated in a war, etc.) of a society's or country's collapse.
