Economics is driven by individual choices, especially in capitalist systems: The effect of demand and supply is driven by what people choose to spend their money on, and how they value certain things over others.

For example, if people choose to go to Egypt and not to Tunisia for holidays, this will influence the economies of those two countries differently!
