Circus Maximus: The Economical Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup
Andrew Zimbalist
The numbers are staggering: China spent $40 billion to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and Russia spent $50 billion for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. This book traces the path of the Olympic Games and the World Cup from noble sporting events to exhibits of excess.
