A Baha'i Perspective: Greg Dahl




A Baha'i Perspective show

Summary: An American Baha'i now living in Bulgaria. Greg went to Harvard to study physics but ended up getting his PhD in Economics. After college Greg worked for the International Monetary Fund of the World Bank for 27 years. His work took him to such countries as Haiti, Sierra Leone and Madagascar. In the interview we discuss globalization and his new book One World, One People: How Globalization is Shaping Our Future. I apologize for the poor quality of the recording. I was having difficulty with VFR's studio telos [the thingy that transfers the output of the soundboard to the telephone line]. Greg couldn't hear me, so I had to have the microphone way up, which created a terrible hum and allowed background noise to filter into the interview. However, the interview is still well worth listening to. Greg has two short interviews posted on line at the First Business Morning News website: Interview 1 and Interview 2. I started our interview by asking Greg where he grew up and what was it like growing up there.
