中国倒退的一个重要原因完全是儒家官吏的保守思想作祟，这种保守思想到了明代因对蒙古人过去强加给他们的变化的憎恨而愈益严重。在这种“复旧”的气氛中，整个上层官吏关心的是维持和恢复旧秩序，而不是在向海外扩张和进行海外贸易的基础上创造更加灿烂的未来。

一流国家在世界事务中的相对地位总是在不断变化，主要原因有二：一是各国国力的增长速度不同；二是技术突破和组织形式的变革，可使一国比另一国得到更大的优势。例如，公元1500年以后问世的载炮帆船和大西洋贸易的繁荣，就使欧洲各国受益不同，一些国家的发展速度比另一些国家快得多。同样，后来开发的蒸汽动力及其依赖的煤炭和金属资源，大大增强了一些国家的力量。这些国家的生产力一旦得到提高，便自然能比较容易地在平时承受大规模扩军备战所带来的负担，能在战时保持和供养庞大的陆军和海军。这种说法听起来似乎具有浓厚的重商主义色彩，但财富通常是支撑军事力量的基础，而要获取和保卫财富，又总是需要军事力量。

然而，如果一个国家没有把它的大部分资源用于创造财富，而是用于军事目的，从长远来看，这很可能会导致该国国力的减弱。同样，如果一个国家在战略上过分扩张（如侵占大片领土和进行代价高昂的战争），它就要冒一种风险：对外扩张得到的潜在好处，很可能被为它付出的巨大代价所抵消。如果这个国家正处于相对经济衰退时期，这种困境将变得更加严重。自16世纪西欧进步以来，西班牙、荷兰、法国、英国和目前的美国等一流强国的兴衰史表明，从长期看，在国家的生产力和取得收入的能力，与军事力量之间有一种非常重要的相互依存关系。

大国兴起，起于经济和科技发达，以及随之而来的军事强盛和对外征战扩张」大国之衰，表于国际生产カ重心转移，过度侵略扩张并造成经济和科技相对衰退落后。

>我们都为日常的繁事而分心过多，因为我们从来没有机会对全面的形势进行调查，并制定出相应的政策，但是我们又不得 不经受着一个有一个焦虑的折磨

军事安全的需要攫取了过多的国家财富，“过度扩张”将不可避免地使它衰落，这速度可能比苏联还要快。
