Gradualism versus big bang: speed and sustainability of reforms

A beneficial reform may be blocked by a majority if it is implemented by a big bang, but the same reform may succeed with an optimally designed gradualist approach, A gradualist approach tan sometimes split opposition force and is, in this sense, more politically sustainable. On the other hand, if both approaches are politically preferred to no reform, a big bang is often preferred to gradualism in terms of both political support as well as economic efficiency.
