The origin of futurism first appeared in 1907, and the work Introduction to New Music Aesthetics by Italian composer Froccio busoni was regarded as the embryonic form of futurism.

Futurism, especially the school of social history, is based on the concept of "post-industrial society", which was first put forward by American sociologist and political philosopher Bell in 1959. According to his technology axis principle (also called axis principle), Bell thinks that capitalism and socialism are both part of the process of industrialization and bureaucracy, and both need to transition to a post-industrial society, and the future society will unify the characteristics and functions of these two societies.

American futurist toffler divided the development of human society into three stages: agricultural wave, industrial wave and knowledge wave according to the industrial structure, especially the role of technology. He believes that the new civilization of the third wave will be a kind of "real help" (different from "utopia"), and both capitalism and socialism as products of industrialization will transition to "real help".

According to the degree of social informatization, naisbitt, an American social forecaster, divided the development area of human society into three stages: agricultural society, industrial society and information society, and thought that the gap between the two social systems would be bridged on the basis of the information society. At the same time, he concluded from the economic system reform in socialist countries and the economic policy adjustment in capitalist countries that both social systems are developing in the direction of privatization.
