These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
It appears from what follows that Sun Tzu means by "Moral Law" a principle of harmony, not unlike the Tao of Lao Tzu in its moral aspect. One might be tempted to render it by "morale," were it not considered as an attribute of the ruler in ss. 13.




Last week link

Last week Japan’s gross domestic product disappointed with a lower than predicted rise of 0.3% in the second quarter half the growth rate predicted by analysts. On a yearly base, GDP added 1.4% while predicted a 2.5% leap indicating the effect of government subsidies is starting to wear off and additional monetary stimulus is in order.  Let’s see what unfolds this week.
Updates: Trade Balance will be released on Tuesday. The markets are expecting a wider deficit for the August reading. The yen has edged upwards to start the trading week. USD/JPY was trading at 79.53.
