Making a connection between the short story and capitalism, we could see how this economical system turns people´s lives into a constant struggle of having more economical resources. Jane felt uncomfortable, because she was buying very little things, but this was because she lived by herself. She thought that people would see her as a lonely person and they would know how she is only because of her buying. If we look this situation in bigger terms, we can infer how the quantity and quality define who I am and how valuable I am.

In Prof. Sicius conference he told us that a young man at the beginning has little money and he started to invest more and more to raise his amount of money. But, do people really needed ton increase so much his money? Capitalism makes us think that we need more to live just with their offers, as Jane thought that she could need a bigger salad cream.

Jane thoughts can be considered as countries thoughts “maybe if we as a country concentrate all goods, other countries would think that we are developed nations” and this points of view in a society create the perfect environment to develop capitalism.
