IN a world where digital lynch mobs hunt in packs and where anonymity unleashes the worst in people, to the point of forcing many frightened leaders to become followers, I highly recommend those who lead us to read (or reread) Machiavelli. Out of the long list of terms that are poorly used, the word Machiavellianism is top of that list, along with cynicism, whose definition has completely changed from its original meaning (all wisdom and freedom).
