If a country neither has the capability to wage war externally nor defend itself from within, then its best strategy is to develop markets. By cultivating economic strength in this manner, the country can gradually build military competence. Unlike other Chinese military classics Wei Liaozi questions the penchant for seeking out divine omens. The treatise does not adopt a praiseworthy tone at all times either. Kings and generals are often criticised. Common sense is emphasised Surprisingly for a book of its vintage (around 500-200 BCE), the book talks about cannons and women in battle. It is also not shy of referencing the Art of War from time to time. The thrust is very much on organising military and civilian affairs when war clouds loom. The martial part is pivoted around discipline and systems. Among other aspects, collective punishment is a favoured theme. The people angle is more well-rounded. Popular support for military campaigns is stated to be a pre-requisite. Don't kill che goose that lays golden eggs is the motto that China followed then and now.
