And actually as you said even the title in the book in the book is kind of makes this obvious because it says capitalism comma alone meaning the capitalism.
There is a very nice graph in a book which basically shows it's like in like an X like a cross.
This is my favorite part of the book unusual came at the end are usually the first third of a book is is the best part.

Why people recommend it
Capitalism, Alone by Branko Milanovic examines the global triumph of capitalism by contrasting the American model with the state-driven version practiced in China. On EconTalk, Russ Roberts and Branko Milanovic discussed the core themes of the book, including the future of the system that currently shapes the world. Roberts noted that the volume presents careful arguments and highlighted his favorite parts, which appear toward the end of the text. Milanovic explained the significance of the book's title and pointed listeners to specific visual data, such as a cross-shaped graph illustrating economic shifts. The conversation also touched on the rise of a new socioeconomic phenomenon, referred to as homo proteus, describing individuals who successfully accumulate both capital and labor income. Furthermore, Milanovic referenced statistics within the work concerning demographic access to elite educational institutions. Roberts ultimately praised the publication at the conclusion of their interview, recommending it to listeners interested in contemporary economic structures and inequality.
