Soccernomics

Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski

Soccernomics (2009, this edition 2014) applies economic and data analysis to explore the way the sport of soccer is played, watched and run. It explores everything from whether world cups make us happier to why Western Europe continues to dominate the sport globally. In the process, Soccernomics shows us that much of what we think about the world’s most popular sport is wrong.

The good word

“Your 15 minutes spent reading the summary might well be what encourages you to buy the book itself.“

“The summaries are actually pretty great; I checked out a few books I had read against Blinkist's take and they managed to get all the salient details in.“

“It’s about curation and condensing – pure human brainpower and field experts with a passion for explaining complex matters is the name of the game here.“
