As far as I can tell, Smoot-Hawley is a red herring. Is anyone here arguing that the Act caused the Depression? The paleos are so thin on the ground intellectually that they feel they need to argue it.

Not me. I'm waiting for a Paleo to claim it made things better. Bueller? Bueller?

By my understanding, Smoot-Hawley was one of a list of ingredients in that bitter soup called the Great Depression.

It can neither be completely blamed nor acquitted.

Paul Craig Roberts is still a nutbar moonbat head case.
