Because labor laws hadn’t been established and the government didn’t regulate the economy, the entrepreneurs could make tons of money by forcing workers to work long hours in poor conditions for low pay. They were “barons” because they were rich, but in a sense, they were robbing their workers of pay they deserved. Robber barons who abused their workers the most also tended to make the most profit and outcompete other companies, so there quickly came economic incentive for the abuse of workers rights; even the nicest of employers were forced to cut wages to keep their businesses alive.

The failure of foreign banks such as the Kredit-Anstalt Bank during the early 1930s can be partially attributed to the Smoot-Haw
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

B. caused a major reduction in international trade

Explanation:

The "Smooth-Hawley Tariff" was an act that was meant to alleviate the people and the economy from the "Great Depression." It raised the tariff of import goods. This was retaliated by other countries, which, in turn, also increased their tariff on US goods. So, this contributed to a decline of both import and export of goods, thereby <u>reducing international trade</u>.

Since it is the role of the bank to assist people when it comes to financial trading, <em>the reduction of international trade greatly affected banking.</em> This resulted to many bank failures, including the collapse of the Creditanstalt Bank (used to be the largest bank in Austria). Farm banks also began failing due to the collapse of the export market. <u>The tariff made a significant change in the country's monetary system.</u>

So, this explains the answer.
