The Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930, which raised US duties on hundreds of imported goods to record levels, is America's most infamous trade law. This title presents an account of the politics behind Smoot-Hawley, its economic consequences, the foreign reaction it provoked, and its aftermath and legacy.
