"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

The other, of course, involves orcs."

Looks like old Niccolo had the number of bush and company pretty well scoped.
Not much has changed for the rich and powerful in the last 500 years, they still want more money and power. When they are out of power they scheme to regain it.
