"Forster and Pope have created a book that seriously analyses sports organisations from a political economy vantage point for the first time. Of interest to students and academics studying the economics of sport, the book is also written in a style that makes it accessible for those with a general interest, as well as for global sporting organisations themselves."--Jacket.
