DESCRIPTION:What a conceptual and ideas-based approach can tell us about 
 capitalism and economic development\, 15th-19th centuries?”\n\nDr Philip
 p Rössner\, Professor of Early Modern History\, University of Manchester
 \n\nAbstract. Pre-classical economic thinkers have rarely been considere
 d in our narratives on the origins of capitalism\, industrialisation\, a
 nd the making of the modern wealth of nations. If at all\, it is usually
  Adam Smith and other thinkers of the Scottish enlightenment who are cre
 dited as the inventors of modern political economy. Simultaneously\, to 
 the present day most accounts have focused on England\, omitting not onl
 y Scotland and Ireland\, but also a whole continent when comparing “Euro
 pe” and “Asia” in long-term global economic development. In the process\
 , the contributions by continental European thinkers and practitioners o
 f historical economic development have fallen by the wayside. Similarly\
 , the virtues of a longue-durée perspective on capitalism\, the industri
 al revolution and modern economic development\, could also have been mor
 e proactively emphasised. This has led to multiple selection biases in g
 lobal or deep history approaches to the industrial revolution\, great an
 d small divergences\, imputed European miracles\, or modern capitalism m
 ore generally speaking. \n \nDefocusing from an Anglo-centric angle on t
 he modern wealth of nations I would like to bring in conceptual-historic
 al approaches (Begriffsgeschichte) to political economy\, in particular 
 the contributions made by German-language speakers\, their works and the
 ories\, to the making of historical economic development from the Renais
 sance to the industrial revolution.
