  • Machiavelli's 'The Prince' is a seminal treatise on political theory, penned in the early 16th century during the Renaissance period in Italy. This work, written as advice to rulers, delves into the pragmatic realities of acquiring and maintaining political power. Machiavelli argues that leaders must sometimes employ cunning, deceit, and even cruelty to preserve their rule.
