contents Chater and MacKay [CM] derived an entropy function of state for exchange economies satisfying a list of axioms, and showed that a change of state of a system of such economies is possible if and only if their total entropy does not decrease. In this paper, a large class of agent-based models is proved to satisfy the axioms in the thermodynamic limit, and the entropy is shown to be the logarithm of the partition function for their stationary distributions.
