The Soros-Popper ideal is to make large changes in small, scarcely noticeable increments, which can be advanced or postponed, as circumstances require. Popper wrote:

Quote:
The piecemeal engineer will, accordingly, adopt the method...whose advocacy may easily become a means of continually postponing action until a later date, when conditions are more favourable...

Blueprints for piecemeal engineering are comparatively simple. They are blueprints for single institutions...

I do not suggest that piecemeal engineering cannot be bold, or that it must be confined to "smallish" problems.
