The article is mostly about game theory, which has been a staple of economics for quite a while. I suggest to read the article more carefully. It's about applying the study of computational complexity to game theory. When you approach conventional game theory from this angle, things become interesting: e.g. where conventional game theory says a Nash equilibrium exists, the complexity angle suggests that the market won't find the equilibrium, because the laptop can't (for example the problem might be NP complete), and the laptop is much faster than the market.
