The Economist has a section on its website listing its guest contributors—handily titled “Economics by Invitation”—to which they have invited 55 guests. Two of these guests are women.
This is a complaint both about reality and about The Economist—but I definitely blame editorial choices like these for perpetuating the problem. And anyway they reinforce my impression of them as pompous, stodgy (read sexist) arses when they edit the posts of their 27 American guest contributors (out of that 55 total) to read “labour” and “cheque.”
