The Prince is a timeless political treatise that explores how power is gained, maintained, and lost. Written in the early 16th century, Machiavelli offers sharp, practical guidance for rulers navigating unstable political landscapes. Drawing from historical examples and real-world observation, he examines leadership, strategy, diplomacy, and human nature—arguing that effectiveness often outweighs morality in matters of state. Provocative and influential, The Prince remains one of the most important works ever written on politics and power.

History is not shaped by the well-intentioned, but by those who understand the true nature of power. This collection unites Niccolò Machiavelli's two legendary works—The Prince and The Art of War—into the ultimate playbook for statecraft and survival.

Why did the discipline of the ancients triumph where modern armies failed? In The Art of War, Niccolò Machiavelli challenges the reliance on mercenaries and advocates for a return to the civic virtues of Rome. Written as a spirited dialogue between a renowned commander and Florentine nobles, this masterpiece is a philosophical treatise on the bond between a society and its defenders.

A reflection on everyday existence in the ‘sphere of consumption of late Capitalism’, this work is Adorno’s literary and philosophical masterpiece. Built from aphorisms and reflections, he shifts in register from personal experience to the most general theoretical problems.

A bold new English translation of Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince — the treatise that changed forever how we think about power, politics, and the brutal mechanics of leadership. Written in exile in 1513, The Prince is not merely a manual for rulers. It is a surgical dissection of how power actually operates — stripped of moralism, religious illusion, and the comforting lies that political philosophy had told itself for centuries. Machiavelli did not write to celebrate tyranny; he wrote to expose the anatomy of a world where virtue without force is impotent, and force without ...

For more than half a century, presidents of both parties have steadily expanded their power while Congress has quietly surrendered its own. Each new president inherits—and enlarges—the authority of the last, eroding the separation of powers that protects liberty and leaving the people increasingly unrepresented by the one branch they directly elect. In Congress: An Irrelevant Institution or Guardian of the Republic, William L. Kovacs delivers a sobering warning: the decline of Congress is not an abstract constitutional concern—it is the breakdown of the separation of powers and the ...

Drawing on decades spanning a diversity of roles in business, ecumenical service and elected political office, Patrick Payton delivers a bold vision for reclaiming trust, resisting outrage, and building a future rooted in humility, courage, and common ground. In today's America, the loudest voices often come from the political extremes—yet most citizens find themselves somewhere else entirely: in the Middle.

Helmuth James von Moltke, am 11. März 1907 auf dem Familiengut im schlesischen Kreisau geboren, war einer der wenigen, die diese Eigenschaften mit sich brachten. Anders als die meisten Mitglieder der bürgerlich-konservativen und der militärischen Opposition gegen Hitler war er ein kompromissloser Gegner des Nationalsozialismus von allem Anfang an. Und er war der Spiritus Rector des Kreisauer Kreises, jener Widerstandsgruppe, die sich wie keine zweite in einem jahrelangen mühevollen Diskussionsprozess auf ein detailliertes Programm für eine Neuordnung nach Hitler verständigte.

What happens to a society when “we” quietly dissolves into “me”? We vs Me is a sharp, thought‑provoking exploration of the cultural shift from community‑centered living to hyper‑individualism—and what that shift costs us. Across history, families, neighborhoods, and nations were built on shared purpose. Today, those bonds are fraying. In their place rises a culture that prizes personal preference over collective responsibility, self‑expression over shared meaning, and isolated autonomy over interdependence. This book examines how that transformation happened, why it ...

This is not a book about a single man, a single election, or a single moment in history. They Wanted to Believe is a documentary novel about how a democracy unravels when belief becomes more powerful than evidence, and when comfort is chosen over responsibility. Written as a narrative examination rather than a partisan argument, it traces how ordinary people, institutions, and media ecosystems slowly normalized what once would have been unthinkable.

You were born into a system you never designed, yet you defend it as if you built it yourself. Carl Jung argued that what we refuse to face in ourselves eventually controls us from the shadows. Nations are no different. Unexamined fear becomes a lever for those who know how to pull it; shame is weaponized into silence; and groupthink eventually replaces conscience. In this environment, populations mistake the performance of democracy for the reality of freedom. This book is not a partisan critique. It doesn't look left or right; it looks underneath. Shadow Work for a Nation dismantles the ...

The Synthetic Empire: The Rise of Corporate Rule, the Fall of Democracy, and the Path to Reclaim Our Future is a sweeping, unflinching examination of how multinational corporations, surveillance technologies, and manufactured narratives have quietly reshaped modern life.

America was founded on unshakable truths — faith in God, the inalienable rights of the individual, and the belief that freedom is worth any sacrifice. Yet today, those principles are being challenged like never before. The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have: A Treasury of Useful Quotations gathers the timeless words of the leaders, thinkers, and patriots who built and defended this nation — from Washington and Jefferson to Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan. Their voices still speak powerfully to the battles we face today, offering courage, clarity, and hope for the future.

Every parent, teacher, manager, and policymaker faces the same hidden trap: the instinct to protect can quietly destroy the very strength it hopes to build. In this wide-ranging and deeply personal book, Boris Kriger reveals a universal pattern that connects the anxious parent hovering over a child’s homework to the safety engineer constraining an autonomous vehicle, the micromanager stifling a team’s creativity, and even the laws of physics that govern our universe.
