Fundamental Principles
There are five fundamental principles involved:
- Always counter an attack with equal or greater force.
- Defend every important market.
- Be forever vigilant in scanning for potential attackers. Assess the strength of the competitor. Consider the amount of support that the attacker might muster from allies.
- The best defense is to attack yourself. Attack your weak spots and rebuild yourself anew.
- Defensive strategies should be the exclusive domain of the market leader.

“The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
