Maybe you should read the link, I happen to respect Milton Friedman's opinions:

Imports during 1929 were only 4.2% of the United States' GNP and exports were only 5.0%. Monetarists such as Milton Friedman who emphasize the central role of the money supply in causing the depression, downplay the Smoot-Hawley's effect on the entire U.S. economy.[20

Another free trade lie, quit propagating BS.

Are you sure you read what you thought you read? Friedman is a free trade advocate.

And I quote, "Today, as always, there is much support for tariffs--euphemistically labeled 'protection,' a good label for a bad cause. "

Get your story straight.
