The lion cannot guard himself from the toils, nor the fox from wolves. A Prince must therefore be a fox to discern toils, and a lion to drive off wolves.The modern-day term Machiavellian is used to describe deception, dishonesty, and cruelty to meet a goal. The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli was written as a guide for autocrats on how to govern using means that were meant to deceive and manipulate a governments constituency-to the extent of advocating the use of evil for political expediency. In this classic work, the end justifies the means reigns paramount to Machiavellis system of government.Book specifications:Dimensions: 203 x 133Author: Niccolò MachiavelliCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2021Publishing Month: 12Pages: 108Language: EnglishPublisher: Readers Library ClassicsWeight: 132 g
