James Sherry

The Oligarch (eBook, PDF)

Rewriting Machiavelli's The Prince for Our Time

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Establishes a distinction between form and operations of government and contends that form only accounts for part of the political process and is given too much attention, obscuring the more critical operations of government

Appeals to practical intelligence by showing how the form of The Prince can be configured to read quite differently and still reflect the realities of governance at many levels

Illustrates how little the operations and issues of governance have changed in 500 years
