The Prince | Niccolò Machiavelli

Interesting but the language is incredibly dated and you have to really try hard ti read it

A classic, understandably recreates polar opinions, yet is one I have gone back to and reread.

This is a manuscript that can be referenced over and over during these unstable political times.

A very insightful & enlightening read. The Prince has withstood the test of time; Niccolò Machiavelli brilliantly writes & describes in detail how to capture and keep the public under control within one’s governance. His tactics are still used today. Machiavelli lives up to the term “Machiavellian” — immoral, devious, deceitful, conning, manipulative nature with cause for malice. Non-virtuous, inhumane, unmerciful claim to power, how to steal it, and keep society in an oppressive firm grip. This is an exceptional starting point to understanding the nature of today's world powers, and the beginning of modern political philosophy.
