The Financial Genius of Sun Tzu That History Rarely Mentions Most people know Sun Tzu as a military strategist. Few understand him as something even more relevant today: a master of cost, resources, and systemic survival. This video explores the financial logic hidden inside The Art of War — ideas about exhaustion, long-term cost, economic control, trust, and collapse that remain painfully relevant in the modern world. Long before concepts like public debt, economic cycles, or fiscal sustainability existed, Sun Tzu was already warning about the dangers of prolonged conflict, excessive expansion, and ignoring limits. This is not a video about battles. It is about systems. About how power erodes from within. And about why many civilizations collapse not after losing wars, but after winning them at too high a cost. If you want to understand money, power, strategy, and history beyond surface-level explanations, this analysis will change how you see all of them.
