The article studies the evolution of both surplus and profit rates in the Spanish economy during the phase of the housing bubble, the subsequent crisis and the recent economic recovery (1995─2017), comparing as well core and peripheral economies of the Eurozone. From various methodological approaches and showing several indicators, this paper finds an underlying deep profitability crisis and an alarming drop in what we call the productivity of surplus, without reaching previous levels of profitability at the end of the period. This path has been offset by a reduction in interest rates, which promoted corporate indebtedness. The huge decrease of profitability in Spain is however consistent with its peripheral insertion into the Euro area. In opposition, the more advanced economies of the region were able to keep the level of capital profitability and even increasing the volume of surplus.
