The Dictator's Handbook by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith

Everyone should read it. You think you know politics, but you haven't even begun until you've read this book.

If you don’t have the time for a whole book - CGP Gray does a pretty good summary in his “Rules for rulers” youtube video. Very highly recommended!

That was great, thanks! Looks like I’m gonna have to pick up The Dictator’s Handbook now.
