Towards an economic and political taxonomy of Italian football presidents (1960–2000)

Abstract

The paper introduces a taxonomy of the different kinds of clubs’ presidents and the political culture in a long phase of Italian football and economic history (1960–2000). This socio-economic analysis in a historical perspective should help us understand the logic of an investment that was usually an economic loss. Their management action is tied to the political dimension, where football presidents are considered part of this domain, and are trying to take an economic advantage for their business from direct involvement in football. Italy is considered one of the most important laboratories that can allow us to explore the football presidents’ ‘ideal types’ and their socio-economic activities in the context of Italian capitalism.
