Abstract: 
This paper argues that the abandonment of general equilibrium theory by microeconomists was a mistake. It provides counter arguments to two of the reasons for that abandonment - lack of both generality and consistency with methodological individualism in uniqueness and stability analysis of equilibria - and urges microeconomists to refocus some of their attention on it.
