🎙️ TDA: From Peckham Rye to the Gold Mines of Ghana (ft. Miles Prince)

A deep and intellectual Thursday conversation as the team welcomes Miles Prince - author of Peckham Rye People - whose life and work bridge London’s council estates and Ghana’s golden soil.

Main Discussion Highlights:

From council flats to gold mines: Miles reflects on his multicultural roots, growing up between Peckham and Ghana, and the experiences that shaped his worldview.
Economics vs. empathy: Why he left a successful 20-year finance career to tell deeper truths about poverty, race, and power.
Inside the city: Exposing how the finance world runs on “casino capitalism” and the illusion of wealth built on everyone else’s money.
History repeating itself: How the same financial systems that funded slavery still shape modern London - from Mayfair elites to offshore banking in the Caribbean.
Political honesty: Miles, Brent, and Chinx dissect class, race, and political loyalty - questioning whether empathy or economics should guide leadership.
Africa’s elite problem: Why poverty persists in wealthy nations and how power remains concentrated in a small ruling class.
Freedom vs. control: What true freedom looks like when systems are designed to keep people compliant.
Building new worlds: How storytelling can awaken awareness and create space for Black thought, truth, and ownership.
Final Takeaway:
Miles reminds us that empires never die - they evolve. His story is a masterclass in understanding how history, money, and identity intertwine, and why our liberation starts with awareness.
