Eric Drooker described the financial district's skyscrapers as symbols of both architectural ambition and the inflated egos of those who operate within them, concluding, 'The colossal scale of the skyscrapers in New York is matched only by the colossal egos of those who feel themselves above it all-too big to fail.' This duality captures the essence of the hubris often found in the world of finance.
As a native New Yorker, Eric Drooker's illustration on the cover reflects his longstanding engagement with the city, particularly through its complex relationship with money and power. His work often reveals how the vibrancy of the city is intertwined with its financial landscape. He sees the financial district not just as an economic hub but as a dynamic part of New York's living narrative.
