"Before his famed career as moral philosopher and economist, Adam Smith (1723-1790) was well known for a series of public lectures on rhetoric that he gave in Edinburgh and Glasgow."

see "Entelechial Property":

By the way, Kenneth Burke, the rhetorician and "literary critic" was influenced in his economic thought by Thorstein Veblen. And just as Smith's rhetorical theory informed his views about political economy, one can argue that Veblen's economic arguments resonate in Burke's rhetorical theory. Economic transactions, furthermore, can 'profitably' be viewed as instances of persuasion.
