A book of two halves
In this day and age, sport is big business, big international business, and biggest of all sports is football – in terms of participation, audience, and – money. Tim Harcourt’s Footynomics and the Business of Sport (Cambridge Scholars Publishing), thought our reviewer Alex Krumer, would deal with the latter. However, the first half of the book deals with the four dominating, and competing, codes of football in Australia, which our reviewer found highly interesting and educative, while the second half was a huge disappointment. The review explains it all.
