Episode Description

Discover the timeless political guide that shaped centuries of leadership. In this episode, we explore The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli—a sharp, unsentimental manual for rulers on how to gain, hold, and wield power. Written in 1513 during the turbulence of Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli strips politics to its essentials, arguing that stability and survival sometimes demand cunning, deception, and even cruelty. Learn why this slim book still fuels debates about ethics, leadership, and real-world power more than five hundred years later.
