"And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order of things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies, and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new."
-Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

Amen brother. What I don't get is how this is so hard for folks to understand...
BTW- Which translation of the Prince do you have? Is this from the Penguin? You should check out Angelo Codevilla's translation. It's a bit hard to find but worth the effort. Translated from the perspective of the IR professional.
Yeah...it is from the Penguin edition.
I don't understand either why people get this
