Neoliberalism and the Formation of the English Premier League

Abstract

I have argued elsewhere 1 that the formation of the English Premier League (EPL) can be interpreted as an instance of accumulation by dispossession. This paper complements that analysis by arguing that the theory of “Social Structures of Accumulation†can also be used to locate the formation of the EPL within the modalities of the structural changes that characterized the move to neoliberalism. The conclusion remains that the role of football 2 in the neoliberal restoration of capitalist class power cannot be ignored.
