Turning Points in Business Cycles Book

You fell for the word "Harvard". Didn't you?
At least I did, when I bought this book almost 20 years ago, as a dreamy-eyed teenager harbouring aspirations of being part of an IVY League Business School.
Found it in the bottom of my unread shelf few days back, and decided to give it a go.
Few pages into it, I realized when Mr. McCormack wrote this book, he didn't intend to have me - a cynic, possibly entering into mid-life crisis, as a reader.
Naturally, they don't teach all these in Harvard Business School, cause these are pretty commonsense stuff that you learn from life.
Had I read it 20 years back, probably, I would have made it my bible. Now, sadly, it is in my unfinished, not-recommended, balderdash shelf.
Sorry.
