Interesting historical review from CATO Institute: The Legacy of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act:
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was a grave error for U.S. trade policy. As the United States slid into depression, the act represented a desperation move by Congress and President Hoover. Since then, presidents have regarded free trade as the rule rather than the exception. Economist Douglas A. Irwin discusses the Smoot-Hawley Act and its legacy.Video produced by Caleb O. Brown and Austin Bragg.
