In 1982, under Brazil's military dictatorship, a football club in São Paulo ran itself as a full democracy. Players, coaches, and the kit man all had equal votes on wages, transfers, and training schedules. The man who led it had a medical degree, smoked cigarettes, and had been named after an ancient Greek philosopher by his father. They won the Campeonato Paulista twice. This is the story of the Democracia Corinthiana.
