understanding of macro level phenomena can only be derived by studying the consequences of the behavior of micro level agents.

The Flock of birds and the school of fish move in unity but no one fish or bird is controlling or directing the group. Same as in traffic jams where cars slow down for an accident which causes an effect for the following cars.

The common idea is that tie these together is the interacting agents, who constant act and react to actions of other agents..does this make sense?

So to solve the problem of the single common idea would to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing. For instance, if someone started a wave at a baseball game, and when it came to you, you would simply not follow the others behavior.

how it ties into economics is an example of stock markets: Many traders make decisions on the information known to them and their individual expectations about future movements of the market. They may start selling when they see the prices are going down (because other traders are selling). So that behavior can lead to high volatility on stock markets.
