The Wall Street Journal

Holman Jenkins has written editorials for The Wall Street Journal since 1992 and currently is the author of the paper's “Business World” column. More information


Jenkins is a steadfast proponent of American business and the free market. For years, he advanced his libertarian economic philosophy and opposition to big government in a column aptly titled "It's Your Money." He rarely misses an opportunity to challenge his ideological opponent at The Times, the more liberal Paul Krugman, whose ideas Jenkins has dubbed "Krugmanomics."

The 9/11 attacks led Jenkins to join neoconservative foreign-policy hawks, but he has since returned to writing about business and economics for the most part. A legacy of this dabbling, however, remains in Jenkins’s wariness and mistrust of China’s rising influence.

Why Obama Bombed on Health Care

Mr. Obama's health-care thinking always lacked the bite of real 'reform.' He never claimed he was a wonk. He claimed he was a political mobilizer. He meant it.
