Hace mas de 500 anos, en unas circunstancias totalmente diferentes, Maquiavelo redacto EL Principe para describir la conducta que debia tener la autoridad con el objeto de sujetar el poder firmemente.
Este libro va dirigido a los presidentes y, muy especialmente, a quienes deben elegirlo. Esta concebido para una epoca, la nuestra, en la que prevalece la democracia liberal y la que convencer es mucho mas importante que vencer.
El presidente tiene tres partes, la primera parte (Presidentes) es una reflexion sobre las caracteristicas que debe tener esa persona que tiene la responsabilidad de dirigir los destinos del pais y una descripcion de como son y como funcionan los Estados mas prosperos y felices del planeta. La segunda parte (Como se llega a la presidencia) es una incursion en la tecnica electoral y la tercera parte, (Como se es un buen presidente) ofrece consejos, sugerencias y observaciones. Desde como y por que elegir a los miembros del gabinete, hasta lecciones elementales de economia politica. Tambien incluye una advertencia contra los enemigos permanentes del buen gobierno: la corrupcion y las supersticiones marxistas y populistas

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This book is directed to presidents, and especially to those who must elect them. It is conceived of for a time-ours-in which liberal democracy prevails and in which it is much more important to convince than to defeat.

The second part ( How one gets to the presidency ) is an investigation into the electoral process, and the third part ( What a good president is like ) offers advice, suggestions, and observations, from how and why to choose cabinet members to basic political economy lessons. It also includes a warning about the enemies of good government: corruption, and Marxist and populist superstitions.
