However, if you are a Latin American entrepreneur, you have surely run into a problem: many of these great books are in English. Of course, mastering the language of our northern neighbor is always going to give you a clear advantage in the business world, but sometimes you just want to read something in your language.

Therefore, I bring you the following recommendation of books (which in fact I have read) and that were written in Spanish or that, failing that, have an excellent translation.
