Wolcott is referring to NiccolÃ² Machiavelli, a philosopher and writer in the Italian Renaissance, who inspired the political term Machiavellianism, defined as the employment of cunning and duplicity in statecraft or in general conduct, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
The book is The Prince, its author NiccolÃ² Machiavelli. Minus television and Twitter, it seems the techniques of ambitious ânew princesâ, as he calls them, havenât changed a bit. But why did Machiavelli write a whole book about them, peppering it with men who soared to power by greasing palms and exploiting weaknesses: Julius Caesar, Pope Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia? Most people today assume that Machiavelli didnât just describe their methods, he recommended them â that he himself is the original Machiavellian, the first honest teacher of dishonest politics.
