How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization |
Soccer is much more than a game, or even a way of life. It is a perfect window into the cross–currents of today's world, with all its joys and its sorrows. In this remarkably insightful, wide–ranging work of reportage, Franklin Foer takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shining a spotlight on the clash of civilizations, the international economy, and just about everything in between. How Soccer Explains the World is an utterly original book that makes sense of our troubled times.
Franklin Foer is the editor of The New Republic. He is a contributing editor at New York magazine, and his writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic Monthly, Slate, Foreign Policy, and Spin. He lives in Washington, D.C.
