The central argument of the book - that “in a capitalist society […] sport as spectacle serves to further the interests of capital” (9) – is made with respect to a Marxist theoretical approach where it emphasizes the centrality of economic inequality and situates social inequalities in broader historical processes of capitalism and colonialism.	cache/ar-22331.pdf	txt/ar-22331.txt
