It′s good to talk is one of the great clich[ac]es of our time. The
benefits of talk to individuals, families and organizations are
proclaimed by pop psychologists, television talk show hosts, and
management gurus. The importance of talk is talked about endlessly.
`Good to Talk? is an attempt to look critically at what lies behind
this upsurge of concern about talk in our workplaces, classrooms and
private lives, and it places these developments in historical context
and relates their forms to the broader economic and social changes
associated with globalization. The book also poses questions about the
social and political implications of talking about talking. Is
`communication′ the key to solving the problems of modern life? Are
the lessons in talking that are offered to us now the ones we most
urgently need to learn? Is it time to challenge the prevailing belief
about what makes it good to talk?
