> The number of individual nations that could produce a can of Coke is zero
While I understand what the author is trying to say, I don't think that is true at all. I'm pretty sure that if they had a good reason, any number of advanced economies could get it together enough to produce the cans themselves. Seems like the main hard part is the aluminium.
While I'm nit-picking, I believe natural cryolite has not been used in aluminium processing for decades.
Thought-provoking article, though; I typed this with a can of Diet Coke on my desk.
