Abstract (2. Language): 
Tarihsel çerçevede neye ‘ekonomik başar.’ ad.n. verebileceğimiz noktas.nda Bat.l. tarihçiler dillendirilmemiş bir ittifak içerisindedirler. Buna göre tarihsel süreçte ekonomik başar. fiziki ç.kt. imalat.nda maksimum üretkenlik gösterenlere aittir. Özellikle endüstri devrimi anlat.lar.nda bu anlay.ş.n, veyahut varsay.m.n izlerini sürmek mümkün. Diğer taraftan, ekonomik başar.n.n ne olduğunun veya olmas. gerektiğinin tarifini tarihçiler değil popüler kültür yapmakta. Aç.k bir biçimde, tarihçiler modern zamanlara ait popüler ekonomik telakkilerin tesirinde kal.yor, ve tarihsel bağlamda ekonomik başar.y. bugün odakl. bir perspektiften yorumlay.p anakronizme düşüyorlar. Halbuki, modernite öncesi metinlerde bugünün ekonomik alg.lar.na alternatif anlay.şlar bulmak mümkün.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Historians in the West are tacitly unanimous on what we could call ‘economic success’ in the historical context: Those who have produced most physical output in the historical process are the most successful. In particular, the narratives on Industrial Revolution reflect this mindset, or assumption. On the other hand, the popular culture defines what economic success is or should be, not historians. It is obvious that historians are influenced by modern economic understandings, and by interpreting economic success presentmindedly, they fall into the trap of anachronism. Nonetheless, it is possible to find alternative economic understandings in pre-modern texts.
