Aggregate effective demand

Why, according to Keynes, is investment the key economic variable? Why does he think that the volatility of investment spending is likely to cause a problem of aggregate effective demand? Why does he think that this problem can only be solved by government intervention? How does Keynes’s account of the problem of aggregate effective demand challenge the idea of full employment equilibrium in neoclassical economics?
