ELI5 mode

Elasticity is the property of a material or system that allows it to stretch, compress, or deform under force and then return to its original shape, making it essential for everything from bridges to sneakers. In economics, it measures how sensitive one variable, like demand, is to changes in another, such as price, helping businesses tweak strategies to avoid costly missteps in competitive markets.
