Topic: Smoot Hawley

2 chapters across the catalog

Martin Armstrong debunks the narrative that tariffs caused the Great Depression, noting that the Smoot-Hawley Act was passed after the crash had already begun. He attributes the 1930s economic collapse to sovereign defaults by European nations and the failure of 9,000 banks. Armstrong characterizes the current market volatility as a normal correction rather than a bear market.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are reportedly over-performing in the initial phase of Operation Golden Age. Warnings are issued regarding a potential engineered stock market crash intended to blame Trump's tariff policies. Critics are drawing parallels to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, while the current administration prepares to counter media narratives regarding rising food prices.
