We went from riding horses to computer and space ship so I don't know if those will have the same impact capitalism has especially if we have less money for inn

  Which of these would result in “less money for innovation”? Carbon tax can be made revenue neutral and will net benefit innovative companies and/or customers buying their products. LVT is literally taxing non-productive, limited, legally hereditary but actually “common heritage” capital. No damage there. I’m quite opposed to UBI myself but I think there’s plenty of other ways to improve the social safety net with less opportunity of abuse, the net benefit being that people are less concerned with staying alive (low Maslow need) and free to be creative (high Maslow need).

  As the other responder says, LVT is good no matter what the basis of the economy is. But also, we absolutely have problems specific to today around automobile use and suburbia that ultimately go back to inefficient land use. Trying to keep society progressing without improving land use and suburbia is like trying to improve CPUs while not improving upon 1980s processes/chip density.
