Summary
As we continue our reading of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," we examine the political theorist's chapter on glory and why it is valuable to the ruler. Machiavelli encourages great undertakings and the appearance of virtuous behavior, but always with an eye to their political utility, not their moral value. We'll also explore Machiavelli's warning about fortresses and how it applies to figures like Donald Trump in the modern day.
