About this listen
"It is necessary for a prince wishing to hold his own to know how to do wrong, and to make use of it or not according to necessity." (Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince)
Greed. Lies. Corruption. These are the foundational elements of the American Mafia story. Here, the pursuit of power overshadows even the desire for a dollar, and self-interest outweighs the greater good.
It’s a world that’s foreign to the average American—or is it?
The values of our democracy and those of Mafia culture are separated by a thin line that’s quickly disintegrating. No one sees this more clearly than former mob boss Michael Franzese. Born into one of New York’s most feared crime families, Michael spent eight years in prison before he walked away from the Mafia for good. Now, he’s sharing the undeniable parallels between mobster and politician.
In Mafia Democracy, Michael exposes our government for what it’s become, revealing the psychology behind the gangster lifestyle and how these ideologies have infiltrated the landscape of American politics. With in-depth investigation and astounding examples, this book is your chance to see politicians through a new lens, hold them accountable, and reclaim the democratic ideals that once united our great nation.

Outstanding
What an eye opener, superb I was hooked from the first verse. Micheal is clear precise and entertaining. Having met the man personally he tells you straight which is refreshing in a time when cowards hind behind keyboards and we are sheep being hearded by a hateful farmer. Being outspoken and speaking freely is becoming harder and harder. We need people like Micheal

Is a good book but a very heavy bias
Clearly a very smart guy but blinded by an unwavering need to portray republicans favourably. To skip and avoid subjects like the NRA when talking about corruption was an early alarm bell when going into this, and unfortunately puts the book in us and them territory.
