This is a study of his evaluation of their failures, especially how wealthy elites were prepared to undermine law and government to preserve and augment their power and wealth.

Autorenporträt
John M. Najemy has published on Machiavelli, in addition to many essays, a study of the famous epistolary exchange with Francesco Vettori, exploring the political and personal contexts in which Machiavelli wrote The Prince (Between Friends: Discourses of Power and Desire in the Machiavelli-Vettori Letters of 1513-1515, 1993). He has also written two books on Florentine history, including A History of Florence, 1200-1575 (2006; Italian translation, 2014), and essays on a variety of Italian authors from Albertano da Brescia and Brunetto Latini to Leon Battista Alberti and Baldassare Castiglione. He edited The Cambridge Companion to Machiavelli (2010) and Italy in the Age of the Renaissance (2004) in the Short Oxford History of Italy series.
