Economics is About the Common People

One of the things I love about economics is that it is so broad and all encompassing.  Things that appear to be seemingly unrelated actually are. The more books I read, the more investment vehicles I use, the longer I trade in the stock market, the more I realized how the mindset of a seemingly insignificant average joe could drastically alter a nation's GDP.  How can the whim of an average person have such far reaching effects you might ask?
