Frantic attempts by individual countries to shore up their economies through protectionist policies – such as the 1930 U.S. Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act and retaliatory tariffs in other states – exacerbated the collapse in global trade, contributing to the depression.[18] By 1933, the economic decline had pushed world trade to one third of its level just four years earlier.[19] Between 1933 and 1939, federal expenditure tripled, and Roosevelt's critics charged that he was turning America into a socialist state.[184] The Great Depression was a main factor in the implementation of social democracy and planned economies in European countries after World War II (see Marshall Plan).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9436.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9436.txt
