Role in the map
Major banks represent the material channels through which wealth, debt and dependence are imagined to be controlled. They help translate the poster’s abstract theme of captivity into everyday experiences of borrowing and scarcity. The chart groups diverse institutions into a moral narrative, which should not be mistaken for evidence that every bank shares one concealed purpose or occult allegiance.
A contextual role, without a separately established esoteric meaning.
