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.

Michael addressed all sides with facts, data and details. Then he offers his point of view compared to his experience in the life. I'm convinced the government cracked down on organized crime to take away the one thing that would bring balance to the Force. Now over-regulation has turned us on each other. Facts do not care about your feelings and he has many of them. Thanks Michael!!!!

Very Well Done

A great book that was hard to stop listening to. If there's an expert on mafia, and then shows the connection between unions & government, this is it

Excellent book

Unraveling and unveiling truths beyond common perspective. What an in depth stripping naked of corruption right on the money, still underneath the nose of the masses!!! Captivating quotes on nationalism by greats critically forcing the reader in a hot seat to ask questions about their role as herd or informed advocates.

Great Works👍
