Sure, but if what the author is saying is true, then it implies that there is nothing special about markets, and a system involving an equal number of humans and computers following some other optimization algorithm could achieve similar results in efficiency.

And if a government sponsored and modified such an algorithm in an attempt to optimize for equality (second only to efficiency of usage), such a system could be an effective socialism. It is at least an interesting avenue to consider if mathematical and computational parallels could be constructed.
