Beschreibung
This book uses the structure of Machiavelli¿s The Prince to show how governance has changed over the last 500 years. If Machiavelli focuses on power concentrated in the hands of the republic or principalities, The Oligarch looks at how states and companies today function as oligarchies. Rather than dealing with the form of government, it addresses the operations and networks of governance for both states and corporations as a single set of common processes. The author links politics, ecology and literature, by using the literary device of appropriation to raise awareness of ecology and the overreach of powerful people, offering both wielders and critics of power a common ground based on how people in power actually conduct themselves.

Zusammenfassung
Establishes a distinction between form and operations of government and contends that form only accounts for part of the political process and is given too much attention, obscuring the more critical operations of government
Appeals to practical intelligence by showing how the form of The Prince can be configured to read quite differently and still reflect the realities of governance at many levels Illustrates how little the operations and issues of governance have changed in 500 years
