Abstract
The purpose of the article is to show the possibility of forming a consistent complex theory of value based on the entropy approach to economic research. Objectives of the article: to study the variety of approaches to the justification of the category of value, to identify the problems of existing approaches to the justification of value, to reveal the specifics of the entropy approach as the basis for the synthesis of theories of value, to state the main provisions of the complex theory of value based on the entropy approach, to carry out a primary check of the adequacy of the complex theory of value. When working on the article, an abstract-logical method of research was used, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. As a result, it was possible to develop the contours of a complex theory of value based on the entropy approach, which allows solving a number of long-standing problems of economic science: the problem of reductionism, the problem of synthesis of approaches and theories of value, the problem of value measurability, the problem of the relationship between objective and subjective in value, as well as the problem of economic evaluation of natural resources capital in the absence of a developed market for natural goods.
