Machiavelli was a scholar ... he detailed political techniques that went back to the Roman Empire and beyond - and noted how they were still used in his day. They are still being used NOW. What works, works. MOST people are only exposed to "Prince" ... but "Discourses" is MUCH more informative - provides the WHY to what's recommended in Prince. Hell, it even explains CEO "golden parachutes" ...... Yes, it is useful to consider many of his works as "political manuals". They seem to have been intended as such - "How-To's".
