More about the book

Exploring the evolution of modern sport, this book connects its origins in mid-eighteenth century England's capitalist economy to today's global corporate landscape. It challenges the notion that capitalism corrupts sport, positing instead that modern sport is intrinsically linked to capitalist development, akin to factories and stock exchanges. Utilizing original sources, the narrative reveals how significant political and economic events over the last two centuries have influenced the transformation of sport.
