Machiavellianism" is a ...... used negative term to
characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli
described in The Prince. The book itself gained enormous

assumed the author was teaching and endorsing evil and
immoral behavior. Because of this, the term "Machiavellian" is
often associated with deceit, deviousness, ambition, and
brutality. However that was Machiavelli's stylistic device to
gain the reader's attention for his close analysis of the actual
techniques used by rulers.
