You’re seriously trying to compare the economy of today with that of the Great Depression era? The Great Depression economy is a microcosm against the complexities, options, choices of today’s. Further to that far more competition, speed at which to acquire and let’s not forget the stock market and its complexities.

Smoot Hawley had nothing to do with the Depression. FDR taking over the banks and not allowing them to loan money is what caused it along with Kennedy shorting the stock market.
