The Machiavellian Layers of Power

In essence, the Theory of Layers, viewed through a Machiavellian lens, allows for a nuanced understanding of power dynamics. By examining historical and present-day instances, we discern a pattern where those at the pinnacle wield influence over the layers beneath, orchestrating a complex game where motives, obscured by the intricacies of each layer, contribute to an ultimate, often well-concealed, outcome. As we analyze these examples, the relevance of Machiavellian principles in shaping the events of our times becomes increasingly apparent.
