English term or phrase: muddling through
The English—with their inveterate belief in experience, even though they are never quite sure what it teaches; their habit of compromise and imprecision, which is known as “muddling through”; their refusal to worship efficiency; and their devotion to voluntary effort in a time of increasing professionalism—may yet work out a worthwhile pattern of life for the future. In particular, the English seem suited by the innate contradictions in their character to find an answer to the problem that vexes the modern world—how to reconcile an ever-increasing executive power with legislative control, a planned society with individualism, order with freedom.
