The Prince
Niccolò Machiavelli
Written in 1513, Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince remains one of the most influential works on political philosophy, leadership, and power. This groundbreaking classic reveals timeless lessons on how rulers gain, hold, and use authority — insights that continue to shape discussions on strategy, governance, and human nature to this day.
Often seen as the ultimate guide to realpolitik, The Prince strips away illusions of morality in politics and instead focuses on practical wisdom, calculated risk, adaptability, and influence. From the nature of fortune and fate to the importance of strong leadership and decisive action, Machiavelli’s work is as strikingly relevant for today’s world of business, politics, and leadership as it was in Renaissance Italy.
