The realm of finance has its own ecological logic. Hectocorns offer behemoths poison pills, whales take fledglings to the moon, disappear into dark pools, and form fraudulent daisy chains with one another. The publication examines the slang terms used by traders and other financial professionals. Between what these terms mean and the ecological world they refer to, Benjaminsen and Casey detect a rich mythological history. Unpacking this charming language reveals the absurd (super) natural "fictions" that materially and violently shape our worldly ecology.
