aspects of legal self-representation., especially in civil rights cases. Shortly thereafter, he wrote another book entitled Radical Planet, in which he advocated a number of social and economic changes in the United States and internationally, including the introduction of a new currency he invented called Universal Trade Hours, based on the value of time and labor. The book also fully details the methods by which activists can advance their causes, and puts forth the hypothesis that there are advantages to one's emotional well-being through pursuing activism.

Grossack's concern in the situation was motivated in large part by objections he had to usury. He followed up his complaint with information that the actions
