    Economics is more than money, income, and making a profit, rather it is a study of how society manages its scarce resources; but, one change can cause an enormous effect. This is called the “butterfly effect.” In this analogy, it is hypothetically said that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. In relation to economics we see that raising or lowering the price of one item can cause the prices for various other items to fluctuate. The United States runs on the system of a market economy where the individuals and businesses make the economic decisions, while the Soviet Union had a command economy where the government decided how many goods should be made and determined prices for every item.

Within the first chapter of Catcher In The Rye, we learn that Holden is telling the entire story as a flashback narrative after he has been check into a mental health clinic, or something of the sort.The lines “
