Montgomery is the author of 12 books, including, The Shape of the New:
Four Big Ideas and How They Built the Modern World (Princeton, 2015),
co-authored with Dan Chirot, which The New York Times selected as one
of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2015. Shape of the New has been widely
praised for its themes regarding the power of ideas in the shaping of
modern history, using such thinkers as Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, Karl
Marx, and the founders of American democracy, particularly Thomas
Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, as examples of how influential
Enlightenment thought has been. The book also examines how such
thought has been opposed by forms of often-violent reaction and
extremism, such as fascism, totalitarianism, and religious fundamentalism.

Power in the 21stCentury, co-author Thomas Graham Jr. (Cambridge;

Language? (Chicago, 2013); Powers that Be: Global Energy for the
21st Century and Beyond (Chicago, 2010).
