Roger Lowenstein Biography

Roger Lowenstein is a financial journalist and author known for his ability to explain complex economic topics through accessible narratives. Lowenstein graduated from Cornell University and reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade, including two years writing the Heard on the Street column. He began his career at newspapers in Virginia and Caracas, Venezuela, before joining The Wall Street Journal, where he later authored the Intrinsic Value column. Since the 1990s, Lowenstein has focused on book writing and contributed to national magazines covering finance, economics, and business.

Lowenstein has published seven books, including three New York Times bestsellers. His book "Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist" provided an in-depth account of Warren Buffett's life and career. He followed with "When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management," which examined one of Wall Street's most significant collapses. Lowenstein is recognized for his thorough research and ability to present financial history in a clear and engaging manner.

In "The End of Wall Street," Lowenstein chronicled the 2008 financial collapse, drawing on interviews with government officials and Wall Street executives. The book explores the roots of the crisis, analyzing how the United States became vulnerable to risky debt and speculative mortgages. "America's Bank" investigates the political and economic debates that led to the creation of the Federal Reserve, providing historical context and insight into American finance. In "Ways and Means: Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War," Lowenstein examines how financial strategies during the Civil War transformed the nation.

Lowenstein's work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The New York Times, Washington Post, Fortune, Atlantic, and New York Review of Books. He serves as a director of Sequoia Fund and is a member of the board of trustees at Lesley University.
