«Foot Business» is Christian Authier's essay on money in football, published by Hachette Littératures in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Journalist Christian Authier investigates how football entered the era of globalisation 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 footballers and doping, and asks whether the drift is reversible.
Published on 14 March 2001; ISBN 9782012355736; subtitle on cover: «Le monde n'est pas à vendre».
It is a read for football fans interested in its economic and social side, as well as in investigative journalism.
