Risto Laulajainen, Göteborg End of Geography at Exchanges?1 Introduction Financial topics appear in geography in many guises. They are part of the geography of Servi ces and follow corresponding dynamics (DA NIELS 1993). Financial establishments occupy Space and compete for it with other functions, usually other Service units. The competition is most pronounced in large cities and leads to their internal specialization (MURPHY et al. 1955). The number of banks and the hierarchies they form are used to classify cities and towns (HAGA 1997, 1999; PALOMÄKI1963; REED 1981). Financials are thereby part of urban geography. But financial questions have lately gained sufficient following to form a subdiscipline of their own, financial geography or the geography of money. The former variant is closer to business administration (LABASSE 1974; LAULAJAINEN 1998; LEE 1998a; van RIETBERGEN 1999; PORTEOUS 1995), while the latter leans towards economics and political science (COHEN 1998; HAMPTON 1996; LEYSHON 1995, 1997; THRIFT 1987; THRIFT/LEYSHON 1994).
