The Wall Street Journal's Brilliant, Penetrating Columnist, Holman Jenkins, Gives His Take on the Big Issues of Our Times Larry Kotlikoff Oct 09, 2025 13 3 3 Share Transcript I’ve been a huge fan of Holman Jenkins for years. His columns are deeply insightful and fun -- skewering the left and the right in equal measure. I found our conversation remarkably calming. Holman is a true student of history, so when he says this too will pass, it’s particularly reassuring. Many columnists come and go. But Holman has been writing for and guiding the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal for a third of a century. That tenure is a remarkable tribute to both Holman and the Journal. Please listen/watch this premier American journalist. He’s truly one of a kind. Holman’s Bio Holman W. Jenkins Jr. is a member of the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal. He writes the twice-weekly “Business World” column that appears on the paper’s op-ed page on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Mr. Jenkins joined the Journal in May 1992 as a writer for the editorial page in New York. In February 1994, he moved to Hong Kong as editor of The Asian Wall Street Journal’s editorial page. He returned to the domestic Journal in December 1995 as a member of the paper’s editorial board and was based in San Francisco. Mr. Jenkins won a 1997 Gerald Loeb Award for distinguished business and financial coverage. Born in Philadelphia, Mr. Jenkins received a bachelor’s degree from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. He was a 1991 journalism fellow at the University of Michigan. Share Subscribe Future-Proof Your Finances!
