Read some Economics. Henry Hazlitt is a good introduction to the subject. He is succinct and thorough. Economics in One Lesson is a short book. If you read it and understand it- it is written in plain English, not jargon- you will not be able to avoid thinking things through.

Ad hominem and citing a very basic, stripped down, ideologically-driven set of crib notes for economic dummies is not persuasive to me. I understand economics well enough to understand whether or not underlying statistics support a given contention, or not. I challenged you to cite statistics to support your contention that tariffs caused the Great Depression. This I note you have not done.
