SPORTS ECONOMY IN THE PERIOD OF PRIMITIVE SOCIETY AND SLAVE PRODUCTION

Abstract

The main subject of this study is to find an answer to the question of sports economics or sports industry. In order to answer this question, "movement", which is the similar aspect between sports and economics, was discussed in the conceptual dimension. It has been determined that "Movement" constitutes a product in economics and different branches in sports. After this determination, two periods of economic history, namely the primitive community and the slave mode of production period, were discussed and compared. As a result, it was determined that both economy and sports showed similar development. Therefore, in terms of the history of economic thought, contrary to today's sports economics literature, it has been determined that sports economics weighs more than the sports industry.
