The Prince is a primer in how a new Prince should govern his new territory. It is seen as having frequent parallels in the business world. Unless otherwise noted, translation is by W. K. Marriott.

Any book that has been in print continuously for 500 years has to have something going for it. The Prince is a set of rules that Machiavelli would have the Prince follow. They have entered our culture as a set of sayings such as "it is better to be loved & feared, it is better to be feared then loved, it is dangerous to be held in contempt or hatred."

By today's standards his recommendations are pretty brutal, Saddam Hussein would have found them to be exactly what he followed. Our elected princes (or our princes in business) in the US can't be quite this rough. Perhaps if we use the word fire rather than kill when a new president comes into the Government or the Corporation.

Machiavelli was a better writer and observer than he was a practicioner. He wrote the book while in prison for picking the wrong prince to back.

The Prince by Machiavelli is really theory or government, tho maybe thinly disguised as fiction to evade the censors of the time. Interesting to see how many Dewey Codes you have assigned to it.

One or more of the hyperlinks above will take you to Amazon.com. We specialize in books that are available on line for down loading. Where the material is stored in a planar cellulose information retrieval system, i.e. a printed book, we don't have the infrastructure to handle the sale, shipment and subsequent customer service if there is a problem. Accordingly, we have made an arrangement with Amazon.com to handle the order. The above link will take you to the specific book. If you order it from Amazon, they will give you exactly the same price and customer service as if you had entered their site directly. They also give us a small commission which helps to maintain this site.
