When Authors Tom Stanley and William Danko set out to investigate on how people get wealthy across America, they found something odd. Many people who live in upscale neighborhoods and drive luxurious cars do not have extreme wealth. The allusion of wealth happens a lot and many people are unaware of the true meaning of wealth. Many people who have great wealth do not live in upscale neighborhoods. This book examines ways to become wealthy and how wealth is not what you spend but what you accumulate.…
The Prince was written in the 1500’s by Niccolo Machiavelli, whom name became a synonym for crafty plotting. As noted, it is a political and social document, as relevant today as when it first appeared. Machiavelli’s work became thought of as a blueprint for dictators instead of a guide for efficient democratic government. The Prince does not give us all of Machiavelli’s political thinking; however, he devised this reading for the man who seeks power. It treated the most severe problem of Italy, its inferiority in political organization and military strength to nearby states like Spain and France and was addressed to princes like the Lorenzo “The Magnificent” Medici, to whom it was dedicated. As difficult as it was to read, I did not find…
Prospero has power and control over Ferdinand even though he is no connection to him but purely because he rules the Island, knows magic and is generally very controlling.…
Prince Prospero's actions proved to be cowardly, as he and his selection of knights, dames, and nobles, retreated into his castle. He thought that in doing this, he would in some way, escape the wrath of the Red Death. He could care less about his people, locking them out of his home and leaving them uncared-for.…
Ultimately, Prospero loses his daughter to Ferdinand and Milan, which I think parallels how he was harshly treated by Milan's politics. Prospero becomes expresses his helplessness:…
Prospero tries to build an alternate reality in which he thrives from clouded judgement and false sense of security. Excluding himself from the world along with the presences of a thousand of his knights and friends Prospero locks the world out. “With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. The external world could take care of itself ”(Poe). Abandoning those in need and trying to save himself Prince Prospero selfishly runs from the problem. This false sense of security creates somewhat of a bubble blinding the people and Prospero from seeing that they do not control their fates.…
One could say Prospero makes this decision because he has no more need for his magic in Milan. Prospero’s goal was to have revenge on his brother and those that followed him, and to reclaim his high status. He was able to accomplish this goal through the help of magic, but as he will no longer need this power in Milan. Prospero instead plans to use political and social power to hold his status over others, instead of using magic to assert his dominance. However, Prospero may have also decided to rid himself of his magic, although it gave him great power, it…

In his hallmark work The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith generates a Hobbesian dilemma when he asserts in Book I that man posses “the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another” (Smith, 25). Smith supports this claim as the principle from which the division of labor originates, citing the example of tribespeople exchanging surplus goods. However, does man really have this natural propensity to trade, rather than a natural propensity to fight and steal as argued by Thomas Hobbes? What keeps tribespeople from murdering each other to collect additional surplus without having to sacrifice their own goods? In his earlier work The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith answers these questions with the virtue of justice.…
A good leader is one who can stand up against the norm and take risks to uphold their state. According to Machiavelli, in his book The Prince, this includes taking actions that are not favored by the majority. Though Machiavelli was born on May 3rd, 1469 and only wrote his book in 1513, his ideas were so significant that they apply even to contemporary leaders. Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, is facing situations that can either prove her strength as a leader or set the European Union on a road to destruction. On top of dealing with the major Greek debt crisis, she has been faced with the task of deciding how to handle the Syrian refugees. Using the examples and analysis provided by Machiavelli, Merkel’s best plan would be to pressure…
At the start of the play, Prospero's selfishness and absolute power over the other characters make him difficult to empathize with. Even before he lost his kingdom and was marooned on an island, Prospero was self-centered and greedy for knowledge. In the following speech, Prospero recounts the story of his life before the shipwreck on the island to Miranda, explaining that by "neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated / to closeness and the bettering of my mind" (I.ii.89-90), his brother, Antonio, was able to kick Prospero out of his dukedom. By neglecting his responsibilities as Duke of Milan and instead focusing on gaining magical abilities, he gave his brother a chance to rise up against him. Prospero seems like more of a villain than a hero at this point in the play because he only thinks of gaining power for himself. To further his selfish pursuit of his goals, his possession and use of magic is petty and…
