Las 50 leyes del poder en El Padrino

The power is in politics... but much less than it seems. "The position is more important than the pieces," says Law 48 of The Godfather. The game of power is played daily at work, with friends, in love, in relationships with our children or with our parents. If you don't know about power, if you are illiterate in the matter -the author warns us- your misfortune is near, because power is the philosopher's stone of life in society. But we live in a time that insults power as an ethical gesture and believes that good can prosper outside of power. We can follow the path of that error or bet on knowing the laws that govern this ubiquitous, universal and sublime force. Machiavelli's The Prince illustrated with incomparable mastery the laws of power in the Renaissance. Mario Puzo and Francis F. Coppola have done the same in our present time. The laws of power are in The Godfather, in the novel and in the movies. One only has to organize what is in these works and surprising clarity will help us start the path of understanding the laws of power: revealed like those of Moses, unequivocal like those of Newton, crude like those of Hammurabi.
