Machiavelli: Love, Fear and Hate

Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) is famous for his realist political outlook. In his book The Prince, he went so far as to argue that a ruler would be better off being feared than loved. Machiavelli is often thought of as an advocate for ruthlessness and trickery. But is the reputation deserved?

Warren Balogh and Greg Conte apply Machiavelli's thought to modern examples including Adolf Hitler, Napoleon, and America's Jewish power-elite. They also work out what parts of The Prince are the most crucial for White Americans to understand.
