http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot-Hawley_Tariff_Act

Every politician in every country right now is trying to raise barriers, buy at home first, preserve jobs for Americans/Canadians/Chinese/... . It's even more the wrong thing to do now than it was in 1930, because trade is so much more than it was in 1930, and should be resisted over and over and over again.
