Recommendation
Conventional wisdom says that large-scale events, such as the Olympic Games or the World Cup, confer economic sparkle to host cities and countries. The truth is a bit different, as outlays for these extravaganzas tend to far outweigh their benefits, saddling hosts with debt and limited purpose structures that become monuments to excess. The World Economic Forum’s Stefan Hall cautions that leaders should consider long-term costs versus short-term gains. getAbstract recommends this engaging read to tax-paying sports fans around the world.
