Book Reviews of The Prince (Enriched Classics (Pocket))
Book Review: Simply Machiavellian
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't think this is a 'must read', but it was pretty entertaining if you're into philosophy, history or like to find out where words come from. You always hear people say, things like "his politics are machiavellian" and you know it means 'cut-throat', but you don't know why. Well reading this clears it up, although I didn't get the impression that he favored such tactics, it just happened that sometimes those tactics work for maintaining power and this is what this book is all about. Getting, keeping and expanding your power, specifically over principalities, but you can apply some things to business I'm sure.
It's an easy read (which surprised me) and not very lengthy, so don't be intimated by it if you're interested in reading it.
