Global Capitalism Index: New Dataset Maps World Economies
The University of Virginia has released the Global Capitalism Index (GCI), an unprecedented dataset designed to evaluate economic conditions across national and regional economies worldwide. Compiled from over two hundred distinct sources, the index measures capitalism through eight foundational pillars. This comprehensive framework offers researchers, policymakers, and economists a nuanced tool for comparing how capitalism operates globally. By moving beyond traditional metrics, the GCI provides a multi-dimensional view of market structures, regulatory environments, and economic health.
