Lazzarato began his educational career as a student at the University of Padua in the 1970s, where he was active in the Autonomia Operaia movement. Lazzarato left Italy in the late 1970s for exile in France to escape political prosecution, although the charges against him were abandoned in the 1990s.[3]

Lazzarato is known for his essay, "Immaterial Labor," that appeared in a collection of contemporary Italian political theory edited by Marxist philosophers Michael Hardt and Paolo Virno, called Radical Thought in Italy (1996).[4][5] His research focuses on immaterial labor, the transformation of wage labor, and work, and cognitive capitalism. He was also interested in the concepts of biopolitics and bioeconomics.
