Summary / Abstract (Note) | MOST AMERICANS know Niccolò Machiavelli only from The Prince, a sixteenth-century "audition tape" he dashed off in lieu of a résumé to try to land a job. It's a shame. Not only was Machiavelli the leading advocate of democracy of his day, but his ideas also had a profound influence on the framers of our own Constitution. |
