本章的直接背景是布朗评论（2010）之后发起的英国高等教育的激进改革。委员会建议，社会科学、艺术和人文学科的本科学位课程应全部由学生的学费资助，并由一项由政府承担的按收入发放贷款制度提供支持。随后的政府白皮书（2011年）在一定程度上修改了这些建议（主要是通过限制学费和学生人数，因为贷款系统的潜在高成本），但加强了对高等教育的承诺，简单地理解为对人力资本的投资。与此同时，它提议允许营利性提供者竞争获得贷款的学生，并允许大学改变其法律地位，以促进自己的营利性活动和与营利性公司的合资企业（McGettigan, 2013）
The immediate context of this chapter is the radical reforms to higher education in England that were initiated after the Browne Review (2010). It recommended that undergraduate degree programmes in social sciences, arts and humanities should be wholly financed by student fees supported by a publicly underwritten system of income-contingent loans. The subsequent government White Paper (2011) modified the proposals to some degree (primarily by placing a cap on fees and student numbers because of the potentially high cost of the loan system), but reinforced the commitment to higher education understood simply as an investment in human capital. At the same time, it proposed to allow for-profit providers to compete for students with access to loans, and for universities to change their legal status to facilitate their own for-profit activities and joint ventures with for-profit companies (McGettigan, 2013).1
