Italian political theorist and a statesman of Florence. His book 'The Prince' (1513) describes the achievement and maintenance of power by a determined ruler indifferent to moral considerations. The book was both influential and reviled, but enumerates the basic concepts of 'realpolitik'. He lived 1469-1527.
