Interesting article in the FT today about Rachel Reeves’ new book, ‘The women who made modern economics’, where she argues that many female economists have been the victims of shameless plagiarism and received insufficient credit from their more famous male colleagues.
Interesting in that Reeves herself appears to have conducted large scale plagiarism when writing the book, lifting sections wholesale from Wikipedia, a variety of newspapers and even her own (male) party colleagues.
Maybe this is her own version of levelling up?
I think we can rest easy in the knowledge that no one is going to read a book by Rachel Reeves on women economists. As for her contention that women receive less credit, that has been the case for decades in any number of scientific and academic fields.
