Machiavelli
By Nick Hodge | May 31, 2005
Reading a highly informative biography of Niccolo Machiavelli, the Renaissance thinker and writer on Power and Politics. Written by Michael White, from Perth, "Machiavelli: A Man Misunderstood" details the life-and-times of a man today renoun for the perjorative term Machiavellian. Whilst his most famous piece, The Prince, details the methods a prince (or leader) must undertake to gain and retain power in Renaissance Italy - it has modern day implications for all politcal operatives.
Note: For those in Sydney, Machiavelli's also happens to be my favourite business lunching venue. Save up your dollars and head down to Clarence Street in the CBD for some hearty Tuscan/Italian food.
