Description

Explore the complex relationship between global sports and corporate interests with Celebration Capitalism and the Olympic Games. Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Sport series, this book examines how the Olympic Games have transformed into the world's largest media and marketing event. Jules Boykoff provides a deep analysis of how the Olympic Image is used by huge corporations to reach a global audience of billions. This provocative study looks at the contemporary Olympics through the lens of political economy. Boykoff argues that the Games function as a massive planned economy that protects the wealthy from risk while offering a grand spectacle for the public. By using an interdisciplinary approach, this text offers a critical perspective on the intersection of exceptional athletics and corporate cash. It is an essential read for those interested in the sociology of sport and the economic structures that drive modern global events.
