The Modern Machiavellian V
The Operating Manual for the Modern Prince
This part of the Modern Machiavellian truly builds on the foundations laid out in this entire series. This section is about the fact that modern society is not what you believe it to be. It is five operating principles to navigate such a society. This section is especially important not because it is a fundamental worldview shattering diagnosis, but a set of rules to operate within.
The Modern Machiavellian is our latest installment in the exclusive Foundational Works series. This work explores how Machiavelli was not cruel or sadistic but simply an honest observer of power.
