Rachel Reeves, Labour's shadow chancellor, has acknowledged that her new book, "The Women Who Made Modern Economics," contains passages lifted from other sources without proper acknowledgment.
The Financial Times reported that the book reproduced material from websites including Wikipedia, and identified over 20 examples of apparent plagiarism. Reeves has said that some sentences "were not properly referenced" and that this would be corrected in future reprints.
Publisher Basic Books has stated that it will review all sources and rectify omissions in future reprints. Conservative MPs have criticized Reeves over the issue, calling her a "copy and paste shadow chancellor."
