Of course, it is not the cure to the financial crisis. But, it is natural for each country to have this tendency. Today's world is interconnected very tightly. Anything happened in one country will head to the others finally. To some level, protectionism is not bad, at least, they are trying to survive themselves, thus, indirectly help the others. But, it would be a deadly mistake ONLY consider themselves and ignored the others. No one can ONLY survive himself in such an interdependent world.

no i do not think so

I think this is right.special policy at special time.during global economy downturn,in Hangzhou,the local government has send out many coupons instead,and the comsumption has enlarged.I think positive measures like this are effective and acceptable.

i don't think the"buy american" policy will solve the financial crisis problem.it will only worsen the whole world economy and leave the whole world in ruin.as the biggest economy in the world, the u.s should act as an leader and take the responsibility.buy as many foreign goods as possible,so that the world economy would bounds back.
