Let's work those history muscles and see if we can nail it down to at least a specific decade while still trying to stay on the right side of the evolutionary theory literature

Happen to be reading the chapter on the development of capitalism in the book "economics" by Ha-Joon Chang. He says 16th century, but
"the process [of capitalism coming about] went so slowly we can't tell [exactly] from the numbers" (own translation, reading the book in Dutch).
I think that's lib for "dialectics>metaphysics but I haven't heard of dialectics". As for place, he goes with GB & NL. He mentions "parts of Italy" a few pages earlier but doesn't touch upon that later.
