Description

The Olympic Games serve as a massive global event that centers international interest on a single host city. Since the Munich Games in 1972, the way these events are financed has shifted dramatically. As economic interests and their resulting effects become more significant, there is a growing need for accurate economic analysis and comparison. This book provides a detailed study of the economic implications of both recent and future Olympic Games across four decades. Author Holger Preuss examines the most important issues regarding the hosting of the Olympics and the wider economic effects involved. By looking at the financial gigantism of the Olympic Games, this work fills a gap in available research, providing a deep look at how hosting these massive events impacts the economy of the host city and the world.
