TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the current discourses and their description of "talent" and the challenge of finding it fail to do full justice to the complexities of contemporary elite labour markets and that more attention needs to be paid to how the geographies of elite labour are affected by both discourses that construct power relations and the role of geography as a resource that is empowering but also disempowering.
