    Nicolo Machiavelli was of the former thinking. In his book “The Prince,” Machiavelli gives guidance on what believes to be the best practices for ruling.

    The Prince, written by Niccolo Machiavelli, is a controversial work of literature that offers the frightening reality of how any government is truly ruled.

    Machiavelli desperately wanted his job back, so he dedicated his book, The Morals of the Prince, to Lorenzo de’ Medici in hopes of winning his favor. If he wasn’t interested in getting his job back, Machiavelli never would have wrote this book and dedicated it to Medici.
