Professor Bruce Chapman (Australian National University) is the designer of the Australian system of government-run income contingent loans to university students (HECS). The scheme was so successful that it was subsequently adopted by a number of other countries.

In this video-interview Prof Chapman talks to Dr Jan Libich about this scheme, and also more broadly about how the government can help individuals and firms manage risks in many other areas. March 21, 2014. Web: https://crawford.anu.edu.au/people/academic/bruce-chapman and www.janlibich.com.
