The Oligarch

Examining the evolution of governance over the past 500 years, the book contrasts Machiavelli's focus on concentrated power in republics and principalities with the modern reality of oligarchies in states and corporations. It emphasizes the interconnected operations and networks of governance, merging politics, ecology, and literature. Through the literary technique of appropriation, the author highlights ecological concerns and the influence of powerful individuals, fostering a dialogue between those who wield power and their critics.
