Why do you think that no country has become completely capitalist/free market economy? Why would most countries not want to do that?

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales taxes, tariffs on imports and exports, and legal prohibitions—such as the age restriction on liquor consumption—are all impediments to a truly free market exchange. ... Communist governments, which control the means of production, are not considered market economies because the government dictates supply and demand.
