I’m curious do many people in the US know about the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act? I only learnt about it yesterday from the BBC. I found it really interesting to read about it as it seemed to be exactly the same process that we’re going through now.
Most Americans would act like those kids in Ben Stein's classroom from Ferris Bueler's Day Off if you tried to discuss the Smoot-Hawley tariffs with them.
