Description:

The author takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shattering the myths of our new global age along the way. He finds that instead of destroying local cultures, as the Left predicted, globalization has revived tribalism. And far from triumph of capitalism that the Right predicted, it has entrenched corruption.
