In the 19th century, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk emphasised the relevance of the Produktionsumweg to improve future productive capacity. In this view, capacity is the outmost layer of a series of concentric circles. The outer layers wouldn't be possible without the earlier ones. But some of the earlier ones were only built because somebody purposefully deviated from the most direct route.

Thousands of years before, Sun Tzu described Shi as a strategic configuration of power. The indirect method of the Umweg allows you to build a positional advantage. After such preparation, you're able to relase that energy in an opportune moment.
