Did you know that Joseph prevented a capitalist Egypt from becoming a Socialist State? What Egypt became in the end might not look like any government we have today. What do you call an economic system where the means of production are owned by the government but are managed by the people? Is this what a healthy relationship between government and citizen looks like? Did Joseph's leadership guide Egypt in a way that politicians should take note of? Was he completely transparent with the citizens, or did he pull a fast one? Joseph may be the first example in history of someone who did not "not let a crisis go to waste" as he consolidated political power for Pharaoh. Let me take you through the text and let's see if we can notice things that you've never seen or thought of before.
