Produktbeschreibung

With the current global economy crashing, war and
conflict arising from questionable choices in
governmental circles, not to mention the suppression
of freedoms, high unemployment and rising taxes, this
book is as relevant today as it was during the
Renaissance. This text highlights the benefits of a
virtuous and honourable government, showing leaders,
both male and female, who adhere to virtue and honour
in comparison to leaders who corrupt every essence of
the concepts. Differences between vir, virtù and
virtus, appear in the numerous examples of leadership
methods. Corruption ranges from cruel bloody-minded
tyranny and raging hotheadedness; poor leadership
ranges from cowardly feebleness to outright
abandonment. This text also addresses the affect
that a leader s chosen methods have on the body
politic. Corruption at the highest levels, high
taxes, unfair laws, impinging freedom and lack of
justice rightfully result in society s rebellion and
the overthrow of their leader. Individuals owning
virtue and honour set an example to all, whilst their
rule remains peaceful and their people happy.
