Abstract
This commentary reports my view of the paper by El-Ansary, Shaw, and Lazer (2018). I take issue with two main aspects of the paper: (1) I doubt that there is a crisis in the identity of the marketing field, and (2) I doubt that paradigm four, which they propose, will supplant the current ruling paradigm. I explain these disagreements by giving my version of the historical developments and by describing the current situation that I believe will survive their contribution and claims.
