Qarun

Qarun appears as the symbol of financial power that supports tyranny. With him, the model of the three forces the author sees as allied in producing a subjugated and frustrated society is completed.

• Financial power as Qarun
• Qur’anic narratives encode historical laws
• Renaissance and the civil state require overcoming authoritarian heritage and building citizenship
• Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun are models of the structure of tyranny
