This act was seen as a major cause of the Great Depression, as it led to a decrease in international trade and a decrease in global economic growth. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was met with criticism from both domestic and international sources, and it was eventually repealed in 1934. Despite its negative effects, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is remembered as a major event in US economic history and a cautionary tale of the dangers of protectionist policies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44484564549933,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2023-02-08-9999-7.jpg?v=1676318353","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-588-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
