"Maslow's hierarchy of needs considering the wide picture of house prices, home ownership and the wider changes seen in UK society." What do you mean by that? I cannot immediately see how house prices and home ownership issues drive diminishing banking privacy . |

When it used to be the council providing the housing, some tenants learned they could get a new kitchen every two years, so right on the two year point, they simply smashed it up and the council fitted a new one. An example of the tenants gaming the system paid for by taxpayers. Although Margaret Thatcher is despised by many for doing things like selling off council houses to their tenants, it was a clever way to offload costs back onto the tenants as many bought their homes and started to get into "property" ownership.
The Northern Island troubles with the IRA largely died down because they made more money "on paper" by becoming landlords and gave up drug dealing and knee capping. A surgeon I spoke to once said some hospital in Ireland was the best for knee surgery and those skills have been lost because the IRA werent doing knee capping's any more!
So Maslow's hierarchy of needs is based on things like high priority need for food and shelter at the bottom of the pyramid and social media like facebook and instagram at the top to keep the ego happy with loads of bot followers. You see this everywhere now, even here on hacker news with the upvoting downvoting system, but Google's more recent removal of the dislike button is perhaps best known.
Psychological population control without having to fire a bullet or bomb, deploy police and the food regulations helping to manage the hormonal fluctuations to keep people docile. Populations controlled with the push of a button, clever init! LOL
