Competition, Fairness and Equality in Sport and Society

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the inherent competitive nature of humans, challenging the notion that progress in equality and fairness represents a departure from our instinctual drives. Using elite sports as a lens, it argues that the push for equity and equal access is rooted in the same competitive impulses that have always existed. As basic survival needs are met in developed societies, individuals continue to vie for status and recognition in various domains, demonstrating that competition remains a fundamental aspect of human behavior.
