Popper, The Poverty of Historicism

The Poverty of Historicism by Karl Popper criticizes the belief that history follows discoverable laws that allow reliable prediction of the future. Popper argues that social development is shaped by unpredictable growth of knowledge, making deterministic historical forecasts impossible. The book defends an incremental, critical approach to social reform instead of large-scale ideological planning.
