What I’m learning from the HN thread about my cash flow post:
1) cash flow is REALLY unintuitive if you’re not involved in business.
2) even if you have basic business knowledge, (say, corp finance 101) the capital allocator lens that Malone typifies is STILL weird af.

For non-finance, non-business school peeps (like me!) I’d recommend Thorndike’s The Outsiders, followed by a corp finance textbook if you’re serious about it. (I like Damodaran’s, though I’m not done with it)

Funny thing is the Outsiders is sitting on my desk because my toddler grabbed it off the bookshelf yesterday and it didn’t get put away. Out of 500+ books the coincidence is not lost on me.
