The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is a U.S. law enacted in June 1930 which caused an increase in import duties by as much as 50%.

Many ancient cultures developed complex writing systems and pictograms in which they expressed their daily life and aspects related to their daily life. An example of this are the images presented.

In the first one we can see a man with two ropes from which several fish hang, this refers to one of the oldest economic activities of humanity, characteristic of the communities and civilizations surrounding rivers and seas.

On the other hand, in the second image two women are seen fighting and with their body tattooed, this may refer to cults or rituals that different communities developed in which they carried out different activities with the intention of offering worship to their gods.
