How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization is a book written by American journalist Franklin Foer. It is an analysis of the interchange between soccer and the new global economy.
The author takes readers on a journey from stadium to stadium around the globe in an attempt to shed new insights on today’s world events, both from political and economic standpoints. Soccer is here the globalized medium that seems to lend itself to explaining the effects globalization has on society as a whole.
