The bottleneck isn’t figuring out what measures would solve any given problem of the have-nots (Pigovian taxes, YIMBY, free healthcare, trains!!) The bottleneck is politically getting these measures implemented, when the haves who control most of everything (including most media and most political donations) will fight back every step of the way. At least if they stand to lose massively from the measures, which in the case of Pigovian taxes is certainly true.
