There are semantic difficulties to this question. Capitalism, like Socialism, does not exist in any nation in a pure - or even in a close to pure - form.

Picture economic systems as along a continuum. At one end is pure free market, anarcho-capitalism and at the other end is pure communist totalitarianism.

In the vast in between, all the nations are ranged all up and down, with none being very close to anarcho-capitalism, and only few being any where near communist totalitarianism.

North Korea may have the dubious distinction of being the most completely controlled economy ever. That their people are now 6 inches shorter (on average) than the genetically identical South Koreans should tell you all you need to know about controlled economies.

Nations that we think of as communist or socialist (really the same thing) are often times shot through with free market aspects. Notably China. And nations that we think of as capitalist are often times shot through with socialism. Notably the Western Democracies, including America.
