  ABSTRACT: The main achievement of modern General Equilibrium Theory (GET) is the proof of equilibrium’s existence. “The proof of general equilibrium is the crowning achievement of mathematical economics” [1] [2]. One of the authors of “Finding Equilibrium”, Weintraub Roy, published three books [3]-[5] and many papers over 30 years, to demonstrate and convince economists that economics were becoming a mathematical science and “These proofs became highly influential” ([5], p. xii). It might be that the proof of the equilibrium existence is a mathematical achievement, but the question is whether these proofs are harmonious with the economic situation in reality.
