New Books: Capitalism and Memoir Critiques

Two new books have been reviewed recently.

The first, 'Capitalism: A Global History' by Sven Beckert, is a big book that talks about how capitalism started and spread around the world.

It begins in a city called Aden almost 900 years ago and shows how different places, like Europe, Asia, and the Islamic caliphate, played roles in its development.

Some people think the book is too broad, but others find it very informative.

The second book, 'American Canto' by Olivia Nuzzi, is a memoir that talks about her experiences as a journalist and her relationship with a politician.

Some reviewers say it's confusing and doesn't give much insight, while others appreciate some of her observations about politics.

Both books have received mixed reviews, with some praising their depth and others criticizing their approach.
