Machiavelli's Broken World

Machiavelli was painfully aware of living in a disastrous moment of Italy's history, and was harshly critical of Italy's princes, its professional soldiers, and the Church. This is a study of his evaluation of their failures, especially how wealthy elites were prepared to undermine law and government to preserve and augment their power and wealth.
