Followed . After professorships in Sassari, Pavia and Florence, he was from 1974 professor of political economy at the University of Rome.
Garegnani himself has emerged as an important critic of neoclassical economics and is one of the leading representatives of classical economics in value and distribution theory. He dealt with the surplus theoretical explanatory principle in distribution theory, as it has been developed by François Quesnay , Adam Smith and David Ricardo and recently rehabilitated by Sraffa. In his capital-theoretical critique of neoclassics, Garegnani showed that the current supply and demand theoretical explanation of distribution and, with it, total output and employment are inconsistent. He also discussed the principle of effective demand as the foundation of an alternative theory of employment, critically acknowledging the contribution of John Maynard Keynes .
