One World, One People: How Globalization Is Shaping Our Future

In the midst of accelerating change, our world seems to be in crisis. It is widely accepted that our planet is rapidly becoming smaller and more interconnected, while the policies, ideas, and institutions of the past are weakening in the face of new challenges. In One World, One People, author Gregory C. Dahl offers a penetrating look at the questions surrounding globalization not only in economics but in all aspects of human life. Surveying the past centurys developments in technology, ideology, and politics, he shows how the current world situation arose from forces that are gradually contracting the planet and its societies. Drawing on his many years of experience working for the International Monetary Fund and from insights provided by the Bah Faith, Dahl offers evidence of the inevitable path toward world unity. His critical examination of history, political influences, and implications of global trends suggests a promising future for all of humankind.
