Authority

Who are the authors, or who is responsible? What gives them their authority or expertise?

 
Steven C. Markoff is the chairman and founder of ProCon.org. He graduated from Los Angeles City College with an Associate Arts degree; he is Chairman and CEO of A-Mark Financial Corporation, a Santa Monica-based financial services company. He founded the A-Mark Foundation (Producing and supporting nonpartisan research on important and little understood topics, to make it easier for people to understand and learn from. Helping people and organizations serving a charitable, educational or humanitarian purpose) them, a private foundation he founded in 1997 which became the parent of free searchable databases covering interesting and important social issues and history. He helped found A-Mark Entertainment (a direct source of film finance for projects with sound repayment sources) a company he co-chairs; he also founded ProCon.org, a public charity promoting critical thinking. This man is has founded an NGO (Non-Government Organization). He doesn’t particularly have expertise or credentials but just a personal interest in social issues. This could make him more neutral or more biased.
