Books by Roger Lowenstein

Roger Lowenstein is an American financial journalist and author who spent years as a reporter and columnist for The Wall Street Journal. His books include Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist (1995), which remains one of the most-read accounts of Warren Buffett's career; When Genius Failed (2000), on the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management; and The End of Wall Street (2010), on the 2008 financial crisis. America's Bank, published in 2015, is his most historically ambitious book. He writes from the perspective of someone who covers financial markets as a practitioner would, which gives his accounts of policy and crisis a specificity that more academic treatments lack.
