Reg, the best plan A I can think of is a super one-off tax on the super-rich, those with private assets worth tens of millions - hundreds of millions of pounds.
These surplus assets would be safely conveyed over to the State, which would cash in the dividends or sell them on to the banks at a fair and convenient price in return for cash. The assets themselves would therefore remain invested in the economy.
The poor super-rich would still be allowed to keep some millions of pounds worth of assets, they'd still be very rich, even though some consider this idea of mine to be downright evil of me to suggest
