But never mind that shit. Is there such a thing as a capitalism index, some form of table ranking how capitalistic each country is?
The only thing that is hurtful to people is aggression. Aggression in the name of racism can be hurtful, but laws against discrimination do not effectively curb this.
As far as your second question, yeah I'm sure there is such a thing, probably just a matter of googling it. The one I'm most familiar with is the heritage foundation's index of economic freedom. It's reasonable but any index like this is going to have weaknesses. This particular one doesn't appear to ascribe enough tyranny to taxation. A lot of the highly-ranked countries have very high tax burdens.
