The reason why incremental government policy change was such a good thing from 1900 to 1980 was that the world also changed slowly -- economically, militarily, technologically.

But with the beyond-exponential explosion in the complexity of the world, combined with the consequent potential for true disaster in fairly short order, the government is increasingly too slow and antiquated in its approach to these issues.
