  1. Machiavelli was an author amongst other things. He wrote "The Prince", and besides working in other aspects of art (poetry, music),was also a diplomat.

    According to Wikipedia:

    "His philosophical views on politics were such that his surname has since passed into common dialect, referring to any political move that is devious or cunning in nature."


  2. Niccolò Machiavelli

    (1469-1527)

    Being Machiavellian need not imply cruelty, hostility, or manipulation for its own sake.  Rather, the Machiavellian is willing to be so, without the burden of external standards of virtue to achieve legitimate goals

  4. Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 – June 21, 1527) was an Italian diplomat, political philosopher, musician, poet and playwright. Machiavelli was a figure of the Italian Renaissance, and a central figure of its political scene. In June of 1498, following the ouster and execution of Savonarola, the Great Council elected Machiavelli as the Secretary to the second Chancery of the Republic of Florence.[1]

    He is best known for his treatises on realist political theory (The Prince, which he considered his Magnum opus) on the one hand and republicanism (Discourses on Livy) on the other. These two written works, in addition to his History of Florence (which was commissioned by the Medici family), were published posthumously in 1531.[2] His philosophical views on politics were such that his surname has since passed into common dialect, referring to any political move that is devious or cunning in nature.

    Tupac was also inspired by his works. So much that he wrote a CD called Mackavelli. The CD was such a hit, the "streets" begin to use the word Mackavelli as the uprising or end of the world as you have come accustomed. aka Mackavelli yaw.
