| Sommario/riassunto: | In this book, author David N. Levy uses Machiavelli's conflict between the elite and the people as the lens through which to understand the other major features of his republicanism. Through analyzing his Discourses on Livy, Levy shows that Machiavelli's principles can provide support for, and constructive criticism of, modern liberal democracy. |
