Overview:  Field explores the tug-of-war between state and federal jurisdiction — from futures markets a century ago to the rapid expansion of sports gambling today.

 

Guided by a soccer field metaphor, it shows who sets the rules, who bends them, who ignores them and the chaos that follows when the referee fails to enforce them.

 

With clear, intuitive illustrations, Field turns complex legal and financial concepts into a visual map of how power, risk and money collide.
