There are many good reasons for the attention lavished on monetary policymakers, including the rise of central-bank independence, public acceptance of the need to appoint highly competent technocrats to oversee the money supply, and the deepening of financial markets. And many central bankers have been rightly lauded for their role in preventing a global meltdown during the financial crisis.
而之所以对货币政策制定者有过多的关注其实有许多理由：包括中央银行独立性的风险。公众对于指派精明强干的技术官僚去监管货币供应的接受度，以及金融市场的不断深化。许多中央银行家也因为自身在金融危机中为防止全球崩溃而扮演的角色得到了公正的赞誉。
