Of course, Keynes is still taught in schools / universities, because some of his ideas are still present in modern financial / political theories. The question is, if it's the only thing that is taught, which you appear to assume. Probably not since the 1960s, certainly not since the 1980s.And 6 figure debt? Meh..
It was the predominant economic theory when I was in college and majoring in economics. There was a small amount of classical ideas mixed in, and virtually no Austrian ideas.
I have less than 10K in student loans, mostly from buying meal plans so I didn't forget to eat as an freshman or sophomore. State school, remember. As for the Keynes stuff, it is still part of the way policymakers understand regulation. So yes, I have learned some of Keynes' ideas. I feel like you're asking about something more ideologically charged though.Frankly I'm more interested in econometrics and micro than the ongoing non-debate between the Austrians and the real Economists.
Yea, the question involves ideology. And those two things you mentioned are what I hated most. I was always interested in macro, and economic theories in general. Colleges don't really delve into the difference between Keynes/Austrian/Classical.
