The government needed to become involved to make education affordable to students without wealthy parents. If the market was going to take care of that by itself, it would have happened before the government got involved.
- simplecomplex 8y agoAffordability has gotten worse since the government started giving loans. The non-wealthy students still have to pay their tuition. I think you might mean accessibility. Government loans do expand access, but so does the private income sharing model. There are market-based ways to serve the poor education, and arguably where it does it’s more affordable, and incentivized to lift them out of poverty.
