How many if those countries are in the top economies? The G7? The G20 even? If their systems are so good why are they not dominating the world financially?

That's a fallacious argument. US led empire has dominated the world up to now because US wasn't directly involved in WW2. While the rest of the world burned, US profiteered from the war and the reconstruction after. That's why the world looks the way it does today.
