The multidisciplinary nature and range of topics covered are impressive, as is the way that the editors have thematically organized the contributions. Scholars who are interested in any aspect of the political and economic governance of sport will find Sport and Neoliberalism a 'must read,' as will policy makers keen to understand more about the potential consequences of strategies of economic maximization and social control.\" - John Amis, Department of Management, University of Memphis \"[A]n extensive collection of essays that provide a look at sport from political, social, and economic points of view (with a neoliberal slant)... [T]his book attempts to redefine how sport is viewed, discussed, and understood. It will be particularly useful to those interested in the intersection of politics, economics, and sport.
