About this listen
Written in the early 1500s, The Prince is one of the most discussed and scrutinized books on political philosophy. The book has been highly debated and criticized, but one must acknowledge the tremendous impact the book has had on political thought. The book gave rise to the term Machiavellianism that has ubiquitously been used to describe politicians for centuries.
The Prince is structured as a “how-to” guide for rulers of principalities. Machiavelli disregards the republic form of a government and focuses solely on principalities.
Each chapter discusses a different aspect of the ruling, ranging from acquiring a principality, to maintaining it, to whether it is better to be loved or feared.
