Mark is an award-winning author born in Philadelphia and educated at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.
After spending 35 years as a leader in the public sector, Mark has turned his attention toward examining and writing on America's cultural and social issues.
His opinionated, muckraking style of writing exposes the underbelly of business and political practices. While he explores mainly American economics, business, education, and politics, Mark’s focus is on the difficulties of getting by in America, especially for the middle class. Sociological patterns underlying business, cultural, and political behaviors are analyzed through a critical, sarcastic, and sometimes humorous lens.

FIXING AMERICA’S ECONOMY: Give American Workers a True Paid Vacation
When politicians and the media talk of paid vacation, they speak of paid days away from work. I think corporate owes American workers more than that. Let me explain.
A smart investment for corporate America would be to provide each employee with a true annual paid (travel, accommodations, food, time) one-week vacation to anywhere in the U.S. Some may say that big business can’t afford this, but the Read more of this blog post »

“On the other side of the gun debate we have those who wish to eliminate all guns. “Guns kill” is the battle cry. If that argument was true, we would have to label cars as “killers” since they take more lives in a year than guns. But the claim is false. There is no question that guns are deadly and were invented for one thing – to kill. But guns don’t think, they don’t plan, they don’t aim, and they don’t pull their own trigger. Guns are just a tool used by an owner to complete a task. Good people use guns for recreation and as insurance against evil. Bad people use guns to commit crimes. How a gun is used is not determined by the gun; it is determined by the holder of the gun. Period. There is nothing else to say on this point.”

“Society benefits from the wealthy – they are not the cause of societal problems. They are just easy targets to blame.”

“Now consider Google, one of the largest, richest, and respected companies in the world. Guess what – they don’t hire new college graduates based on SAT or GPA41. Google believes that top students lack “intellectual humility.” In other words when they make a mistake, “it’s not my fault.” For Google, the ability to learn from mistakes (like C students do), is more important than test scores or class rank. Google believes that top students seldom fail in school and, therefore, are deprived of the opportunity to learn from failure.”
