Neoliberalism/Democratic Capitalism?

I think there's a massive amount of overlap, especially in the recognition of the importance of markets, but neoliberalism/democratic capitalism seems more open to regulation/social welfare spending.

On climate change, ex. policy differences might be: - Far left: "Ban carbon." - Neoliberals: "Carbon tax + nuclear power funding." - Libertarians: "Only Markets." Neolibs/DemCaps would support government action that accounts for market behavior. That's centrist imo.
