Abstract
Looks at the state of selling through digital technology and the types of business which have emerged in this sector. Reports on the findings of two surveys in the UK which highlight the nature and scale of customer concerns in the market. Concludes that the jury is still out on the future of (r)etailing and that the dramatic developments earlier envisaged may be scaled down as it is assimilated alongside traditional methods. States that growth will require more attention on the consumer and the addressing of their concerns.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this conceptual paper is to address the current debate about the role of business and marketing education. Should marketing courses be pragmatic and professional, geared towards practical knowledge of necessary tools and techniques; or should they be academic and intellectual, aimed at creating scholars who happen to be marketers. Should marketers be trained or educated?
Design/methodology/approach
The paper addresses these questions through the well‐established distinction between intrinsic and instrumental aims of education.
Findings
It is argued that ethics are good for business; and that an intrinsic education is necessary to produce the marketers who can work in this ethical dimension.
Originality/value
The paper should be of interest to those involved in marketing education and business curricula design.

Abstract
There is no shortage of literature concerning the life and times of J. M. Keynes. Distinguished examples over the past couple of decades are Peter Clarke's (1988) account of Keynes's battles with the Treasury in the 1920s and 1930s, a study by Moggridge (1992), and Skidelsky's (1983, 1992, 2000) monumental three-volume biography, reissued in a single, abridged version (2003).
