Para los que quieren el poder, vigilan el poder, o quieren armarse contra el poder. En este libro imprescindible, Robert Greene y Joost Elffers han destilado tres mil años de historia del poder en 48 leyes esenciales, basándose en las filosofías de Maquiavelo, Sun Tzu y Carl von Clausewitz, así como en las vidas de figuras que van desde Henry Kissinger hasta P.T. Barnum. Algunas leyes enseñan la importancia de la prudencia (« Ley 1: Nunca eclipses al maestro»), otras resaltan el valor de la confianza (« Ley 28: Entra en acción con audacia»), y muchas promueven la autoconservación absoluta (« Ley 15: Aplasta por completo a tu enemigo»). Sin embargo, todas tienen un punto en común: el interés por la dominación total. Esta edición abreviada presenta sus principios de manera aún más concisa y accesible, ideal para una lectura más ágil y directa. «Una clase magistral propia de Maquiavelo». Sunday times
