Abstract:Over the past years after his election as the radical leftist Labour leader，Jeremy Corbyn emerged with a series of social and economic policies with the help of his shadow chancellor John McDonnell. It is called Corbynomics which mainly includes borrowing more money to fund social services in the monetary policy，raising taxes and increasing spending in the fiscal policy，and more radical policies in terms of economic structure reforms such as re-nationalising some industries and reforming the ownership of companies enabling workers to own 10% of the company share and participate in the business management. Corbinomics is rooted in the theories of the “moral economists” such as Karl Polanyi in the 1940s and his followers in the Labour Party such as R.H. Tawney and Tony Benn who argue for the inevitable nature of the greedy and corrupting capitalism which produces poverty and inequality and advocates mechanisms to restrain its negative power. To implement Corbynomics，the Labour Party has to win the trust of the voters with the rationality and practicality of its policies and its ability to implement them，thus get elected in the next general election.
