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