Dear colleagues,
I need help about a brief note I've come across in an early 19th century 
Ottoman manuscript about a mid-18th-century British economist/philosopher.
According to the text, he was a contemporary of Quesnay, and that he and 
Quesnay laid the foundations of modern economics by organizing the 
economic knowledge of their age to write the earliest treatises in this 
specific field.
The name, according to the author, is Owem or (or Owm or something like 
this--sorry, it's in Arabo-Persian script, so I can only make an 
educated guess), and no first name is given.
It can very well be Owen too, assuming a typo or a mispronunciation. So, 
I thought about Robert Owen, obviously, but as far as I know, he did not 
pen a treatise about economics.
Thank you very much in advance for any kind of response.
Best wishes,
Deniz
