    We spoke to Dr Benjamin Ferguson from the University of Warwick about the economics of football. [ https://www.benjaminferguson.org/ ]Ben doesn't know much about football, but he knows plenty about the tenets of society, how equality and justice work and ways in which we channel our lives through sport.  We absolutely loved speaking to him and by the end,  we were both much wiser on the realities of football.I definitely think we have a new Leeds convert.Enjoy.Thanks to the boys from Skylights for the music.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ileedsthereforeiam/message See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
