Synopsis

It was Niccolò Machiavelli who essentially removed ethics from government. He did it with this book, when he asserted that The Prince (president, dictator, prime minister, etc.) does not have to be concerned with ethics, as long as their motivation is to protect the state. It is this questionable belief that in many ways had lead to the modern world as we know it. His assertion was that the head of state must protect the state no matter the cost and no matter what rules he or she breaks in the process. If you want to understand modern politics you must read this book.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian diplomat, political philosopher, and writer who served the Florentine Republic during the Renaissance. After the fall of the republic he devoted himself to writing works on politics and history, the most famous of which is The Prince. His analysis of political power and leadership has made him one of the most influential-and often controversial-thinkers in Western political thought.
