Small business valuations during uncertain times
ABSTRACT We examine how economic policy uncertainty (EPU) affects small business valuations using a large dataset of private acquisitions. During periods of elevated EPU, buyers pay significantly less relative to asking prices and negotiate more buyer-friendly deal terms, patterns consistent with heightened risk aversion, financing constraints, and behavioral frictions.
The best books set in 20th century Rome
Pasolini’s films, Mamma Roma and Accattone, were among the reasons I decided to move to Rome in the first place. Their blend of poetry and wretchedness chimed with my own vision of life at that time and I seized the chance to improve my knowledge of the city, of Italian and of Roman dialect, by reading his first novel Ragazzi di Vita, as soon as I arrived in the city.

Black Wall Street unleashes two programs to redefine African commerce from colonial past
By Reporter By Charles N Lambert The Black Wall Street has unleashed two programs to redefine African commerce from the colonial past. This is to further the Economic War to set Africa free from European invaders who structured African trade to suit their selfish interests. Colonialism had a huge impact on the lives of Africans. Economic policies were adopted by Europeans who destroyed the colonies, rather than help them. Africa was damaged economically, politically, and culturally.
Why Have We Never Pushed For African-style Economic Imperialism? Incapable? By Charles Lambert
At no point in recent history have calls for Africa to industrialise been stronger than they have been lately. Across the continent, industrialisation is arguably the most talked-about subject among policymakers. So, why has action on the ground failed to move the needle on this important development marker? Why have we never pushed for African-style economic imperialism? Economic imperialism is a situation in which one country or continent has a lot of economic power or influence over others.
How do you recover economically from COVID 19 lockdown?
By Charles Lambert Every time I look at a Ugandan, the first question that comes to my mind is “How many slots of UPAP do you own? When I look at people who have come into close contact with me or our organization and realize they don’t own any UPAP, I puzzle with amazement. When I look at those who earned millions from us either in salaries, commissions, supplier contracts and the likes and still don’t own any UPAP, I finally comprehend the scripture- “my people perish for lack of knowledge”.

PRODIGAL by Charles Lambert Read by Matthew Lloyd Davies
Matthew Lloyd Davies narrates this contemplative audiobook on family, regret, and forgiveness. The story centers on the fraught relationship between a middle-aged brother and sister named Jeremy and Rachel. Rachel, who has been caring for their dying father, contacts Jeremy, who has been living in Paris for many years, to request that he return home to England. Davies sensitively depicts Rachel's frustration and bitterness, as well as Jeremy's loneliness and unease.
Charles Lambert: Once in Paris
The call comes when he least expects it. He’s tidying away what’s left of lunch – some cold meat wrappers, a crust of baguette – when the phone rings, in that short-tempered peremptory way machines have. He almost doesn’t answer it; he’s been fending off unwanted offers of insurance, unlimited broadband, crates of discount wine for months now. His name must be on some list somewhere – Jeremy Eldritch, sucker, with a five-star rating after it to indicate the extent of his gullibility. Or maybe four.
Of English Families and English Countrysides
Secrets of the English countryside imbue two unusual new novels steeped in family history (and that old bugaboo, the human condition). Tessa Hadley’s “The Past” is the subtler yet less strange of the two – a book bringing four middle-aged siblings back to the declining home of their maternal grandparents, a place called Kington not far from the Welsh border where three of the four once spent a summer with their then-30-something mother.
Book review: 'Children's Home,' a tale as old as time, is also a sci-fi thriller - Fredericksburg.com: Books
Charles Lambert builds upon a familiar structure for his new novel, “The Children’s Home.” In a tale as old as time, Morgan Fletcher is his Beast—a recluse so severely disfigured that citizens in the neighboring area are afraid to approach even the gates of his sprawling estate. Lambert’s Beauty is a foundling Morgan names Moira, which he points out later means ‘fate.’ The infant takes to Morgan, immediately accepting his disfigurements.
Opinion | The Stately Gift Shops of England (Published 2016)
Opinion Jan. 2, 2016 WHEN I was a child, my parents would take me to visit stately homes. I grew up in a part of England that seemed to be filled with them — Tudor mansions, pseudo-Palladian villas, Gothic piles — and whole Sundays would be spent walking along their corridors or exploring knot gardens with a host of people I didn’t know.
