Abstract
Adam Smith argued that division of labour and language are linked to the concept of persuasion. Wowever, this paper asserts that trade in the long run and linguistic communication have their roots in trust and probity since both imply some sort mutuality; if not, neither one nor the other would occur as strategies in repetitive games.
