Don't forget the very important fact that in the US companies are allowed to get massive (modulo a few antitrust cases) and keep their profits, of which there is no artificial limit. Both the companies and the citizens are, to a large extent, left unmolested by the government. This is not the case everywhere. There are many other factors as well.

What these countries lack is a large domestic market - with Japan the second largest, and Japan the second largest economy for most of the 20th century after WWII. The UK was large when it had the empire as a domestic market.
