You honestly believe these differences are duo to internal policy? This may be interesting to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)

  And considering PPP, the US still smokes all the major European powers. What is your point?

    It does not seem like you want to give any contrasting explanation so much as a thought. Your 40% gap turns into an 18% gap. Further more libertarian economies don't look particularly exceptional. Together this suggest that the differences in GDP are much more easily explained by existing wealth and foreign policy/trade, instead of domestic factors.
