Best Finance Books by Latinx Authors

Personal Finance Books in the U.S.

Have you been searching and searching for personal finance books by Latino authors or Latina authors, but it feels like you are searching for a needle in a haystack? You are not alone which is why we have done the hard work for you and have compiled the best finance books by Latinx authors for you!

Before we share these books with you, let’s provide some background as to the lack of representation in the personal finance area. 

The interest in personal finance has drastically increased over the years, and the bookshelves are overflowing with new titles. However, it’s hard not to notice the glaring lack of Latinx authors in this sea of finance wisdom (this finance wisdom= 500 books published annually). As the Latino community in the U.S. booms (I mean, over 111 million that’s 28% by 2060?!), it’s high time we hear their unique financial stories and address their specific needs.

Quick stats: Latinx authors make up only 7.6% of ALL authors – que locura (that is crazy)! This creates a gap in role models for financial success in our community. We need to address unique issues like cultural influences, language barriers, and challenges faced by immigrant families. Without enough relevant role models, nuestra comunidad might struggle to find financial freedom that caters to our distinct experiences. We seriously need Latino voices in the financial conversation, no te parece (don’t you think)?

Speaking of Latino voices, without further ado we present to you the compiled list of best finance books by Latinx authors (as well as some upcoming books to look out for). Of course, if you have others that we missed be sure to let us know in the comments section!

Note: This list does not constitute endorsement of these books and is for informational purposes only.

Latinx Authors Over time
 
**There was no data found that showed the number of personal finance books published for all the years we needed so instead we used the range of 400-600+ based on the research and the data Statista published in 2014. 
***Our team searched high and low for personal finance books written by Latinos and they were definitely scarce (and we may have missed some). The less than .01% number was calculated by the number of personal finance books we found written by Latino authors divided by the average of total personal finance books published annually (we used 500 to be conservative).
