Description

"Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius" by Niccolò Machiavelli is a work of political history and philosophy written around 1517. Using the first ten books of Livy's ancient Roman history as a foundation, Machiavelli examines how past civilizations can teach lessons for contemporary politics. He explores different forms of government, the cycles of political greatness, and Rome's evolution into a republic. Through 142 chapters, Machiavelli argues that studying history reveals timeless principles about power, leadership, and the common good. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
