This book is useful for undergraduate and post-graduate courses concerning the economics of sport, as long as one has a basic understanding of microeconomic principles. It asks which sports differ across countries, focusing on economic explanations rather than customs or traditions. It provides an up-to-date survey of the field and a comprehensive bibliography.
