Scientism to me is quasi - science. It's a subject without having an empirical foundation for the sole purpose of claiming and riding upon the power of scientific authenticity. It includes theories within the empirical sciences that claim validity for political purposes or reasons other than furthering an understanding of man and his relationship to the universe.

So, Yes. I do consider scientism detrimental to modern society. Economics, political science and all the social sciences are subjects I consider based in scientism.

How do you define "Scientism"? Just curious about your understanding rather than a text book definition.
