Resumo
This article employs the Marxist theoretical analysis of ground rent,
focusing upon the case of mining and, in particular, the role of
transnational capital operating in the Eastern section of the Brazilian
Amazon. In addition to carrying out a critical analysis of such
operations, the role of the State and identifying the main aspects and
contradictions of these TNCs, it is argued that the two forms of rent,
both differential and absolute, constitute the basis of surplus profi ts
for such fi rms. This paper is centered on an historical analysis of three
major mining companies operating in this sector in the Amazon, and
thus constitutes the benchmark for our analysis: Vale, ICOMI and Rio
do Norte Mining
