Reviews
"This is a thought-provoking look into the financial structure of North American sports." -- Publishers Weekly "A must-read for any sports enthusiast. Dowbiggin has written a compelling and engaging story describing the evolution of the economic structure of major league sports in North America." -- Tony Comper, retired president and CEO, BMO Financial Group "A thought-provoking book on the history of labor relations in the major pro sports leagues in North America. Destroying the myth that a salary cap equals parity, Dowbiggin offers a clear alternative that any right-minded capitalist knows is out there. All it takes is a trip across the Atlantic Ocean to find it." -- Mitch Melnick, host of Melnick in the Afternoon TSN 690 Radio, "This examination of avenues other than a salary cap is interesting, especially with the threat of another NHL lockout looming in 2020." -- Toronto Sun

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
