The Counter-Revolution of Science - Studies on the Abuse of Reason. Liberty Fund. 1979.
Friedrich August von Hayek
This thought-provoking book explores the abuse of reason in early 20th century France, where a group of thinkers applied scientific principles to the study of society. They concluded that an elite group of social scientists should control social life based on their supposed discovery of the laws of society. The book challenges this notion and highlights the danger of blindly applying scientific principles to complex social issues.

@neil_chilson This cover for an edition of Hayek's best book [imo] raises all sorts of questions, especially abt the drug habits of the designer. I'd go much more abstract if you move beyond text. – source
