摘要：During the peak of the financial crisis in late 2008, the
Economist began one of its article sections by inviting
readers to view ‘Smoot-Hawley in the rear mirror’ (The
Economist, 2008). In effect, it sought to use a simple visual
metaphor in order to bring the 1930s into the present and
emphasize the dangers of protectionism. With the collapse
of Lehman Brothers some two years behind us, the time
has come to view such appeals to history as part of a
broader socio-historical phenomenon: after all, more than
any before it, the crisis of 2008 was marked by a violent
return of the past to the capitalist imaginary.
