ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
More than 500 years ago, in totally different circumstances, Machiavelli wrote The Prince to describe the ways that authority figures should behave with the objective of firmly grasping power.
This book is directed to presidents, and especially to those who must elect them. It is conceived of for a time—ours—in which liberal democracy prevails and in which it is much more important to convince than to defeat.
The President has three parts: the first part ("Presidents") is a reflection about the characteristics that the person responsible for directing the country’s destiny should have, and a description of what the most prosperous, happiest states on the planet are like and how they work. The second part ("How one gets to the presidency") is an investigation into the electoral process, and the third part ("What a good president is like") offers advice, suggestions, and observations, from how and why to choose cabinet members to basic political economy lessons. It also includes a warning about the enemies of good government: corruption, and Marxist and populist superstitions.
• Carlos Alberto Montaner has written 30 books and thousands of articles, and is a CNN en español analyst.
• Foreign Policy magazine has rated him one of the 50 most influential communicators in Spanish.
• A book directed at those interested in politics and the current situation.
