In the first few years Vogt worked on growth theory. Later he dealt with approaches of the Marxist economy.

In 1972 he was invited to speak at the conference of the Verein für Socialpolitik . The topic of the conference was power and economic law . His lecture, in which he had argued from a Marxist perspective, was received very critically. As a result of this controversial discussion, several economists founded the political economy working group as an alternative to what they saw as a neoclassical dominated association for social politics.

In the late 1970s Vogt turned to the neoclassical method to analyze power relations and the problem of unemployment in capitalist economies. With this approach he was close to representatives of analytical Marxism . A resulting publication in the magazine Leviathan triggered critical reactions from authors such as Elmar Altvater , Rudolf Hickel and Karl Georg Zinn .
