Circus Maximus
Beyond the headlines of the world's most beloved sporting eventsBrazil hosted the 2016 men's World Cup at a cost of $15 billion to $20 billion, building large, new stadiums in cities that have little use for them anymore. The projected cost of Tokyo's 2020 Summer Olympic Games is estimated to be as high as $30 billion, much of it coming from the public trough. In the updated and expanded edition of his bestselling book,Circus Maximus: The Economi…

Cuba’s Economic Conundrum
Rio 2016
A clear-eyed, critical examination of the social, political, and economic costs of hosting the 2016 summer OlympicsThe selection of Rio de Janeiro as the site of the summer 2016 Olympic Games set off jubilant celebrations in Brazil—and created enormous expectations for economic development and the advancement of Brazil as a major player on the world stage. Although the games were held without major incident, the economic, environmental, political…
No Boston Olympics
In 2013 and 2014, some of Massachusetts’ wealthiest and most powerful individuals hatched an audacious plan to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to Boston. Like their counterparts in cities around the world, Boston’s Olympic boosters promised political leaders, taxpayers, and the media that the Games would deliver incalculable benefits and require little financial support from the public. Yet these advocates refused to share the details of their bid…
No Boston Olympics

Author Andrew Zimbalist looks beyond the headlines of two of the world’s most beloved sporting events: the Olympics and the World Cup. In the expanded and updated edition of his bestselling book,Circus Maximus: The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup, Zimbalist tackles the bogus claim that the cities chosen to host these high-profile sporting events experience an economic windfall. He now takes aim at the outrageous FIFA…
Circus Maximus
Athletes compete for national honor in Olympic and World Cup games. But the road to these mega events is paved by big business. We all know who the winners on the field are—but who wins off the field? The numbers are staggering: China spent $40 billion to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and Russia spent $50 billion for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. Brazil's total expenditures are thought to have been as much as $20 billion for the Wo…

The Economics of Sports Facilities and Their Communities
Since the 1950s, taxpayers have been the primary investors in stadia built for the use of privately-owned professional sports teams. Team owners have argued that sports facilities boost local economic activity; however, economic reasoning and empirical evidence suggest the opposite. Public support for stadia is also driven by demand for community image, and owners of sports teams supply a scarce input into image enhancement--participation in the …

Sports, Jobs, and Taxes
This book examines the economic impact of new stadiums or a sports franchise on the local economy.

Back from the Future
Cuba’s Economic Conundrum
The holding of dollars has been decriminalized, state farms have been turned into cooperatives, the legal space for self-employment has been expanded, and agricultural commodities are being sold in markets. The political and economic consequences of all this remain unclear

Dateline Cuba
Panama at the Crossroads
Teetering on the Brink
Cuban scholars are not noted for fashioning consensus, much less unanimity. Yet it is unlikely that a Cubanist could be found who would not agree with the proposition that Cuba in 1992 is in the worst crisis of the revolution. It is perhaps arguable that the material situation on the island in 1969 was as difficult as it is today, but back in 1969 the revolution was young and the Cuban people for the most part were energetic and hopeful. Cuba was…
Panama at the Crossroads
In December 1989, the United States invaded Panama, deposed its government, and established another in its place. While this act of violent intervention brought Panama to public attention, the justifications for it obscured the underlying instabilities that have plagued the country throughout its history. Although a stated purpose of the invasion was to remove one man, Manuel Noriega, from power, Panama at the Crossroads demonstrates that the cri…

Incentives and Planning in Cuba
During 1986 and 1987, Cuba found itself once again debating the relative merits of material and moral incentives. Analysts outside Cuba have rushed to their word processors to pronounce judgment on the Cuban economy's alleged uncertain footing. Some writers have erroneously declared that Cuba has abolished its post-1973 system of tying pay to productivity, and some have interpreted changes in the Cuban economic system as marking the failure and d…

Reply to Sweezy; On Political Repression
I feel that Paul Sweezy misinterpreted my position in his reply to my communication on Chile (Monthly Review, March 1972). Let me enumerate the points of confusion. "Consolidation," as I have heard it and read it "in the context of present political debates in Chile," assumes many distinct meanings, depending on who is speaking or writing. I have seen it used both in the sense that Sweezy and Benavides use it and in the sense that I use it. As I …
Sweezy on Chile; Reply
In the January 1972 issue of Monthly Review Paul Sweezy has a piece, "Chile: Advance or Retreat?" He begins by quoting over two pages from an article, "The Masses Begin to Take the Initiative," by Hector Benavides. Benavides warns against the strategy of "consolidation" which is gaining increasing currency among the ranks of the Unidad Popular(UP). The "changes effected to date are changes within the capitalist system," so "consolidation" at this…
