In Douglas Rushkoff's book "Survival of the Richest" he talks about the survival ideas of these rich morons he talked to at some event. They were discussing strategies to keep security guards loyal in a post apocalyptic scenario. Shit like shock collars, timed safes, anything besides treating them well. It's a good book.
They'd rather keep driving us towards an apocalypse they wouldn't survive than do something to avoid it.
So maachiaveli wringing a book telling failsons to earn the respect and loyalty of their subordinates was necessaries after all.
