The ground rent is a key variable to understand the limits of Latin American economies. In this work, after a short review of the debates about their determinations. We analyze deeper the methodological and empirical difficulties to make a proxy of their measure, with emphasis in petroleum rent. We review critically the different ways to measure capital profitability of the capital in general and in the branches where commodities are produced no produced by the man work (particularly on oil). After established the general criteria, we analyze the technical difficulties to use the existent statistics to calculate the profits and the total advanced capital (the main issues of the profit rate).
