About this Episode
Niccolo Machiavelli’s name has become synonymous with cunning, deceit and a lack of morality to achieve one's goals in politics or business. He was a pivotal figure of the Renaissance, who witnessed the turbulence of Medici rule, radical religious reform, and the dangerous politics of European courts.
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by the renowned political philosopher, historian and author Dr. Erica Benner to explore Machiavelli's journey from diplomat to revered writer.
