Summary:

"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, lie rich mythological histories. Unpacking this seductive language reveals the absurd (super) natural 'fictions' that materially and violently shape our worldly ecology."
