520 |a The biblical story of Joseph is a narrative that offers several notable ethics. Of interest in this essay is Joseph's response to the scarcity created by a regional famine consuming Egypt and Canaan in which Joseph makes slaves of the Egyptians while enriching himself and Pharaoh. The narrative underscores an uncomfortable truth: in the presence of scarcity, horrific acts are likely even among godly characters. The essay offers lessons on how we, as individuals, governments, and religious bodies, can respond to the scarcity that will likely accompany climate change while avoiding actions that either oppress or sanction the oppression of the masses. In addition, the essay delves into how democracy can be an asset in combating scarcity and oppression, insomuch as democracy is a vehicle for a population that is resourced and informed by truth.
