Holding unlimited economic freedom to be nearly as dangerous as physical violence, Karl Popper advocated piecemeal economic intervention by the state. Jeremy Shearmur's recent book on Popper contends that as the philosopher aged, his views grew closer to classical liberalism than those expressed in The Open Society -- consistently with what Shearmur sees as the logic of Popper's arguments. But Popper's philosophy, while recognizing that any project aimed at bringing about social change must be immensely complex and fraught with difficulty, retains grounds for hope about the purposeful use of government to bring about desirable social results
