Resumen : | This article explains the recent rise to prominence of Barcelona's digital economy, and, specifically, the role played by the city's “talent”. After developing a Marxian approach, we show how Barcelona's success rests upon a good supply of low-cost, appropriately skilled labour fit for insertion into labour processes that can generally not be described as innovative or of high-knowledge, high-skill intensity. There is, in fact, a dearth of highly skilled labour-power in the city, and inflows of foreign labour and outflows of freshly trained “talent” from the city's bootcamps are only swelling the ranks of a lower-paid, moderately skilled knowledge workforce—many of whom work in low-quality jobs. Finally, we show how leading startups in the digital economy are contributing to the expansion of “non-standard” forms of precarious work. We conclude by highlighting the limits to the development and realisation of human productive subjectivity or talent under capital today, even in a widely hyped technopole such as Barcelona. |
