70% of Singapore's housing is public. Most of their labor force are not citizens.
Hong Kong is a financial center for a communist state.
New Zealand is a safe haven for western elite who want to invest in a residency and passport.
Australia is a commodity market that eliminated their native population so transplants from the common wealth can find employment.
Switzerland is a federalized state with a highly guarded agriculture sector for its peasantry and low level banking clans that help circumvent EU regulations.
Ireland is a tax haven for US tech giants hoping to set up a European HQ.
The UK is upwards of an 80% service sector economy building economic ties through their historic political economy developed by massive levels of protectionism in the industrial sector.
Denmark is a subdegree below Holland in boosting a low population leeching off of German industry from the 1500s.
Canada is a commodity market that eliminated their native population so transplants from the common wealth can find employment.
Estonia is a failed state that restructured their capital and sovereignty for two mega-states: the USSR and then the EU. Much like Duras-Europa during the 280s.
Taiwan is a semiconductor hub that utilize a communist labor force to transition goods between Japan and the US.
Georgia is a failed state that restructured their capital and sovereignty to become a protectorate of Persia, Rome, then Persia, then the Turks, then the Russians.
Iceland was a successful democracy and fishing sector economy that resisted wide immigration, rejecting the economic principles of Smith and Engels. After World War 2 when the US and British occupied their country, they became an overexposed industrial center with too few people to run a deficit. Now they just juggle commodity bonds and 'biotech' (read: glorified web design and university research projects).
The Netherlands is a subdegree above juteland in boosting a low population leeching off of German industry from the 1500s.
Chile is a nationalized cooper mining facility with an overvalued investment market thanks to a lack of cocaine productivity.
Lithuania is a failed state that restructured their capital and sovereignty for two mega-states: the USSR and then the EU. Much like Duras-Europa during the 280s.
The United States is... oh why do I even.
The UAE is a gulf Arab state with oil infrastructure created by J. Paul Getty that turned around and utilized it's empty population to siphon funds off of the Arab cold war from 1956 (Suez Crisis)- 1979 (Iranian Revolution).
Luxemburg is a medieval kingdom with a depressive population and a complete lack of freedom due to the political homogenization of France and Germany. Only capitalistic in the dreams of Wall Street investors, it's a house of cards.
Finland is Nokia and Paper (if you want to learn where the stuff came from, just google it), not a capitialistic society.
Go to Somali or the Congo and try to implement any one of these national policies and see how bad you fail.
The wealth did not come from capitalism or any of that humbug about free market policy, they came from their peripheral geopolitical position. None of them created wealth, or have a legal system that produces wealth.
Only nations on the list I would be interested in living within would be Chile (southern, in the Punta Arenas region) and Iceland. Unfortunately, Iceland is a bit too "weird" socially for my tastes (sadly, because my ethnicity is mostly Norwegian and Icelandic). Chile is probably the best South American country for "liberty" right now, but stability (economic/political) in Latin America is always a gamble). Chile, though, is fairly easy to get permanent residency (or citizenship) as far as economic requirements, as is Argentina and Uruguay. Nice thing about Chile, last I checked, is that they do not have a fifty percent split in their population where the two sides hate one another and one side wants to control the other side's every thought and action (or even make lists of them and send them to concentration camps). At least for now.
"most capitalistic countries" , thats really not saying that much in this day and age.
Maybe "least socialist" or "least amount of govt meddling" or "least facist" would be more accurate ways to frame it.
Why do we need to be number 1? We're clearly not a purely capitalist country any more, and I doubt that will change.
Economic freedom is as important as political freedom.
The best countries provide economic freedom.
P.S. A national healthcare system is not socialistic (it does not control the production of goods nor the distribution of goods per se) and is compatible within a capitalistic system. I think a national healthcare system enhances capitalism and enhances freedom of individuals if structured well.

There are many forms of capitalism. That list is the freest markets.
