The article reconstructs the commercial activities of the company of one of the leading traders of the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata, the Spaniard Diego de Agüero, throughout its commercial operations (1770-1820), in order to measure and analyse the origin of its profits and gauge the magnitude of its legacy. To do so, it resorts to serial documentation (ship’s records and annual registers) and private papers (correspondence, accounting books, etc.) from repositories in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia and Spain. By so doing, it shows the absence of a rate of profit in the contemporary sense of the term for the case in question, and the huge disparity in results in its business operations, which could only be conducted thanks to the existence of a specific social system, which resisted the advance of competition through non-economic mechanisms
