Reddit reviews The Globalisation of Addiction

This is a refreshingly honest and mature response to criticism.

Instead of deflecting the criticism or using personal attacks, she questions the framing of the debate and acknowledges the causes as systemic and institutional.

As an obnoxious expat myself, I've witnessed the way behaviours (both good and bad) are institutionalised in every culture. And in Singapore it's crystalised around a culture of empty material consumption. Eat, shop, work, express yourself only through consumer choices. Singapore took this false image of progress and amplified it. It's little surprise that this culture does not make people happy in the long term.
