Unbelievably, I have BOTH on my to be read list. My downfall
was that I started rereading Fernand Braudel's mammoth
3-volume study of history, in part to try to understand the
crisis in light of other crises. Braudel is impossible to put
down (he writes like Truman Capote, if Capote had been a
historian). But this Christmas break, Bruen and Starr will
get their due.
Best, and apologies to all the authors whose books keep
piling up.
