Abstract
This commentary highlights the achievements of the Atlas as a landmark publication for financial geography. In doing so, I focus on three aspects of the Atlas that generates new (or renewed) debates and engagements with how finance matters for people, society and the environment: (i) seeing the invisible; (ii) finance and inequalities; and (iii) criticality. I also argue that the Atlas should make us reflect on our own research and intellectual practice, and what may be needed for us to communicate our research findings and arguments much more widely and effectively.

Geoforum is an international, inter-disciplinary journal, global in outlook, and integrative in approach. The broad focus of Geoforum is the organisation of economic, political, social and environmental systems through space and over time. Areas of study range from the analysis of the global political economy and environment, through national systems of regulation and governance, to urban and regional development, local economic and urban planning and resources management. The journal also includes a Critical Review section which features critical assessments of research in all the above areas.
