And when they teach Classical economics it is the same.
I do not see how this reflects on Keynes or the "Keynesians".
Also IIRC investment theory before the Hall-Jorgenson model
was largely led by "Keynesian" researchers, and I'd
certainly put the entire "q theory" (with its explicit focus
on profitability although not on interlinkages) in the
Keynesian camp.
