Jonathan Wolff suggests creative thinking from HM Treasury to
resolve the impending crisis of student debt. Although most will be working
hard to help fund their studies - perhaps there are one or two economics
students with a bit of spare time and imagination who can design a better model
for the long term financing of higher education. They may not even need
the promise of a knighthood - just a sporting chance of a system that does not
penalise them through future marginal tax rates. That would be a breath of
fresh air.
