A lot of us seniors (and juniors in aim) read excerpts from Machiavelli's The Prince this year, and although some of us may not have enjoyed it, or fully understood it for that matter, this article has me fairly convinced that Machiavelli's claims do still relate to modern politics. Do you agree? Do you think we should read Machiavelli at all? Do you think Obama displays Machiavellian characteristics?
