Description

Explore the deep connection between athletics and economic structures with Sport in Capitalist Society: A Short History. Written by Professor Tony Collins, a leading historian of sport and society, this book examines how modern sport evolved alongside the capitalist economy. Starting from its beginnings in mid-eighteenth century England and moving through to today's globalized corporate sports landscape, this radical history addresses fundamental questions about the role of competition in our world. It investigates how the Olympic Games relate to civil liberties and why sport often acts as a tool for nationalism and militarism. Instead of viewing the commercialization of athletics as a corruption of purity, this work provides a historical perspective on how sport and capitalism grew together. This is an essential read for students and readers interested in sociology, history, and the social impact of global sports industries.
