«Foot Business» is Christian Authier's essay on money in soccer, published by Hachette Littératures in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Journalist Christian Authier investigates how soccer entered the era of globalization and financial capitalism: multimillion transfers, rising television rights and the purchase of major European clubs by multinationals. Against this commodification, the essay denounces the shadows of the process: false passports, trafficking of underage players and doping, and asks whether the drift is reversible.
Published on March 14, 2001; ISBN 9782012355736; subtitle on cover: «Le monde n'est pas à vendre».
It is a read for soccer fans interested in its economic and social side, as well as in investigative journalism.
