Progressive capitalism

I thought it was worth pointing to this Matt Yglesias post, because it really gets at a political angle I find intriguing: leveraging capitalism to achieve progressive aims. That's why I'm interested in ideas like congestion pricing, a carbon tax, and real estate deregulation--the ideological justifications for these solutions are sitting on the shelf, and there's good empirical reason to believe that they will be effective.
