Happy publication day to SOCCERNOMICS (2026 WORLD CUP EDITION)! ⚽🏆 In this modern classic, leading sportswriter Simon Kuper and acclaimed sports economist Stefan Szymanski apply high-powered analytical tools to everyday soccer topics. Why do clubs almost always lose money—and does it mean some will disappear? Why doesn’t America dominate the sport internationally? Do coaches even matter? These are the questions that most consume soccer fans—and SOCCERNOMICS: Why European Men and American Women Usually Win—and American Men Don’t (Yet) holds the answers. SOCCERNOMICS is a revolutionary way of looking at soccer that has helped to change how some of the world’s biggest clubs are run. This 2025 World Cup Edition is updated throughout, including a brand-new chapter discussing MLS, Messi joining Inter Miami, and the rise of soccer in the United States. Using insights and analogies from economics, statistics, psychology, and business, SOCCERNOMICS remains essential reading for anyone in search of a strategic, systematic perspective on the game.

A Christmas gift: so lucky to have an advance copy of MY BAD by one of my favorite writers, @hughoryan @boldtypebooks , to dig into

"THE TRILLION DOLLAR WAR MACHINE: How Runaway Military Spending Drives America into Foreign Wars and Bankrupts Us at Home," an extraordinary investigation by William D. Hartung and Ben Freeman, is available now!⁣ ⁣ A hard-hitting investigation into how the Pentagon’s runaway spending embroils America in foreign wars, squanders its wealth, and enriches a privileged elite⁣ ⁣ “A damning indictment of the conflicts of interest running rampant in the defense establishment.”―Publishers Weekly⁣ ⁣ America spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on its military. This extraordinary spending not only detracts from our ability to address pressing social problems but compels us into foreign wars to justify our vast arsenal. Sold to us in the name of “security,” our military industrial complex actually makes us far less safe.⁣ ⁣ Top policy experts William D. Hartung and Ben Freeman follow the profits of militarism from traditional Pentagon contractors, which receive more than half of the Pentagon’s budget, to the upstart high-tech firms that shamelessly promote unproven and destabilizing technologies. They unmask the enablers of the war machine—politicians, lobbyists, the media, Hollywood, think tanks, and so many more—whose work enriches a wealthy elite at the expense of everybody else, spreading conflict around the world and embroiling America in endless wars.⁣ ⁣ A damning tour de force, The Trillion Dollar War Machine shows who is pulling the strings and pushing for war, and offers a blueprint for how we can shut down the war machine and restore American security and prosperity. ⁣ ⁣ #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #journalism #policy #military #militaryspending #pentagon #foreignwars #wars #berniesanders #deficit #technology #america #unitedstates #usa #democrats #republicans #dc #washington

Happy publication day to the great Jonathan Wilson and “THE POWER AND THE GLORY: The History of the World Cup”! A definitive new history of the world’s most watched sporting event—just in time for the 2026 tournament​ “Wilson is the game’s pre-eminent popular historian.”—Observer (UK) Since 1930, the World Cup has become a truly global obsession. It is the most watched sporting event on the planet, and 211 teams competed to make it into the 2022 tournament. From its inception, it has also been a vehicle for far more than soccer. A tool for self-mythologizing and influence-peddling, The World Cup has played a crucial role in nation-building, and continues to, as countries negotiate their positions in a globalized world. The Power and the Glory is a comprehensive history of the matches and goals, the tales of scandal and triumph, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, and the political and cultural tides behind every tournament. Jonathan Wilson details not merely what happened but why, based on fresh interviews and meticulous research. The book is as much about the legends of the sport, from Pelé to Messi, as it is about the nations that made them, from Mussolini’s Italy to partitioned Germany to controversy-ridden Qatar. Brimming with politics, heart, and drama, on and off the pitch, The Power and the Glory is the definitive story of the greatest cultural event of our time.
