The Birth of Economic Rhetoric. Communication, Arts and Economic Stimulus in David Hume and Adam Smith

Author: Estrella Trincado

Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; Edición: 1st ed. 2019

This book explores and compares the works of two great economists and philosophers, David Hume and Adam Smith, considering their contributions to language, perception, sympathy, reason, art and theatre to find a general theory of rationality and economics. The author considers and analyses both figures through a range of approaches, and moves on to demonstrate how different concepts of language affect Hume’s and Smith’s idea of value and economic growth. This book contributes to a wider literature on communication and language to demonstrate that economics is linked to rhetoric and is an essential part of human nature.
