Critical Praise

"Mountford's powerful novel avoids easy judgements as it explores how money can take over one's life."

—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"In his powerfully-written, quick-paced, and timely debut, Mountford shines a hard light on today’s frantic financial amphitheater --- a place where morality is secondary to making a dollar and large companies can sabotage entire counties."

—The Rumpus

"This is Mountford’s triumph: he has created a commentary on contemporary economics that is as moving and genuine as it is biting and satirical...A Young Man’s Guide to Late Capitalism will be remembered as a touchstone work of the Era of 21st Century Economic Crises."

—Bookslut

"Debut novels don't come much savvier, punchier, or more entertaining than [A Young Man's Guide to Late Capitalism...]"

—Seattle Times
