Machiavelli: History as Cyclical Returns

Machiavelli sees history as cyclical returns, nothing but a succession of ups and downs. In *The Discourses*, he notes that customs and laws are necessary since “men are more prone to evil than to good.” This trait of men ensures that history oscillates between the bad and the good, with the bad being in control more often and over longer periods of time. Lady Fortuna, the goddess of fortune, possesses a mercurial character and plays a pivotal role in the succession of ups and downs. In *The Prince*, Machiavelli says that all rulers, despite their craftiness, ruthlessness, and wisd...
