‘Jones’ study of the pioneers of marketing theory and practice reveals the complex philosophical underpinnings of the discipline, highlighting the impact of the socio-cultural environment on the way scholars have reflected on marketing and reinserts forgotten pioneers into our disciplinary consciousness.’ – Mark Tadajewski, University of Leicester, UK‘This carefully crafted set of biographies of marketing "thought leaders" deepens our understanding of the history of academic marketing. This collection is essential reading for those interested in the history of marketing thought. The book is concise, exceedingly well written and all but unique in its use of archival sources to provide a more complete picture of its subjects.’ – Stan Shapiro, Simon Fraser University, Canada
