  Future studies: study and of and the and future and tool, monitoring the future study, case future stadium study
One might make a stronger argument that futures studies as a field originated in the early 20th century, intertwined with the birth of systems science in academia, and with the idea of national economic and political planning, most notably in France, the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc countries.
With regard to futures studies within the former centrally-planned economies, or within the newly-developing countries, differences with U.S. futures practice exist primarily because futures researchers in the United States have no opportunity to engage in national planning, nor do their fellow-citizens call upon them to construct national symbols.
Futures studies, although sometimes based on science, cannot follow the scientific method, as its practitioners lack the patience to falsify their predictions by waiting for the definitive future to happen.
