The Routledge Companion to Critical Marketing

This edited volume on Critical Marketing Studies is essential reading for all constituencies, including academics, marketing practitioners, consumers, and advocacy groups, that wish to fully understand the good, bad, and ugly of how exchange relationships manifest in most economies. Well-written, timely, and documented to the finest detail, the various authors put forth an excellent analysis and critique of a system that impacts all of humanity and its quality of life. Read it or face the consequences of continued ignorance!

This book offers a foundational resource for critical work in marketing that goes beyond criticism to generate compelling new ideas, productive insights, and transformational paradigms. Close attention will cause readers to rethink their fundamental understanding of marketing.

There is a great need for more Critical Marketing Studies and this book brings together a thorough review of what has been done thus far. Inspiration abounds in these chapters and they will open the imagination and conscience to new problems that cry out for critical attention.

Drawing on their vast collective knowledge, Tadajewski, Higgins, Denegri-Knott, and Varman skilfully help students and scholars understand the importance, trajectory, and scope of Critical Marketing Studies. This is the kind of companion I wish I'd had when I began my career. I can't recommend it highly enough.
