US gained a lot of world power after WW2 when other western countries were rebuilding. Do we know for certain it because of capitalism and not that US had lots of virgin resources to exploit in relative isolation while the other powers rebuilt.

I mean what economic system do you think Western Europe has?

Hint, it’s capitalism. High tax rates to pay for social programs but it’s still capitalism.
