According to humanist psychologist Abraham Maslow, our actions are motivated in order achieve certain needs. Maslow first introduced his concept of a hierarchy of needs in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" and his subsequent book Motivation and Personality.

Overall, as many have argued, including Milton Friedman, central banks’ track record in the last two hundred years has been pretty abysmal.
