Nels Abbey is a writer, broadcaster and former banker, and the author of Think Like A White Man. His new book, The Hip-Hop MBA: Lessons in Cut-Throat Capitalism From The Moguls of Rap, is out in 2024.

We discuss his views on race and racism in the UK, Western imperialism, whether colonialism is truly over, the moral complexities of past historical events, “reverse Euro-centrism,” and why it's difficult to imagine that an ethnic minority can hold non-mainstream views and still be successful.
