The Prince
If you are like me, you probably had heard of Niccolo Machiavelli and probably assumed as I did that he was some type of cold hearted tyrant who ruled with an iron fist. I was surprised to find out that he was actually what can be described in today’s terms a middle management civil servant. Machiavelli never seemed to weild any real power and his fortunes depended upon the rulers that he was associated with.
