An alumnus of the École polytechnique in 1959, from 1998 to 2006, he was a member of the Cercle des économistes.[1] From 1997 to 2003, he was a member of the Conseil d'Analyse Économique (CAE) for the French Prime Minister. His monograph A Theory of Capitalist Regulation: The US Experience (Verso, 1976) laid the foundation for the regulation school of economics. He was a teacher at HEC Paris.

In October 1974, Michel Aglietta published his thesis, entitled Régulation du mode de production capitaliste dans la longue période. Exemple des États-Unis (1870–1970), for his doctorate thesis at the University of Paris I: Panthéon-Sorbonne. He was also aggregate professor for the universities in Amiens, after he was administrator of the INSEE. The jury who marked his thesis consisted of Professors Raymond Barre, H. Brochier, Carlo Benetti, J. Weiller and Edmond Malinvaud.

Michel Aglietta was one of the founders in 1976, with Robert Boyer, of the regulation school. He was a specialist in international monetary economy, known for his work on the functions of financial markets.
