Read by Luke Erlenbusch
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli is a timeless political treatise that explores the dynamics of power, leadership, and statecraft. Written in the early 16th century, this concise yet provocative work offers pragmatic advice to rulers on how to gain, maintain, and consolidate authority, often advocating for realism over idealism. Machiavelli examines historical examples and human behavior to present strategies that prioritize effectiveness over morality, making the book both influential and controversial. Its insights into political maneuvering and the nature of authority have cemented it as a foundational text in political philosophy and realpolitik
