Description
Political economist Vasilis Kostakis delves into a new philosophy of soccer, inspiring us to see how this sport could be a force for social change rather than a contributor to a collapsing society.
With a light touch, Beyond the Final Whistle tackles the meaning of the beautiful game, exploring how it is produced and played, from the dribbles of a young Zapatista to the many goals of Messi. Speaking to activists, philosophers, comedians, and soccer players, he imagines what the sport would look like in a new, post-capitalist world.
How does soccer affect global inequality and the climate crisis? How does it teach our children empathy? What makes the game so captivating to billions of people, and how can this passion be used for liberation? With humor and insight, Beyond the Final Whistle is a love letter to soccer and revolution.
