How to Choose a Leader: Machiavelli's Advice to Citizens by Maurizio Viroli is a concise and insightful guide that distills Niccolò Machiavelli's political philosophy into practical advice for modern voters. Published by Princeton University Press in 2016, this 144-page book reinterprets Machiavelli's teachings, emphasizing the importance of virtuous leadership in a republic.
Viroli challenges the common perception of Machiavelli as a proponent of ruthless power politics. Instead, he presents Machiavelli as an advocate for leaders who prioritize the common good, exhibit integrity, and possess the courage to combat corruption. The book offers twenty essential tips for selecting leaders who can uphold and enhance the liberty and prosperity of their nations. Viroli underscores that citizens should evaluate potential leaders based on their past actions and commitment to public service, rather than charisma or populist rhetoric.
This work serves as a modern-day counterpart to Machiavelli's The Prince, shifting the focus from advising rulers to empowering citizens in their electoral choices. It's a timely resource for anyone interested in fostering democratic values and making informed decisions at the ballot box.
