Degrowth and Liberty: Being Free With Less

How is freedom, a polysemantic term, understood by the majority today? What is the relationship between modern freedom and the perpetual growth system? And what kind of freedom would post-growth have to put forward?

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

If a man has a genuine, sincere, hearty wish to get rid of his liberty, if he is really bent upon becoming a slave, nothing can stop him. And the temptation is to some natures a very great one.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1860-09), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 18, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 35

Lucy Connolly’s case has now reached the US Congress, with Nigel Farage calling it out as an attack on free speech.

Think about that: a British citizen, dragged through the courts for words, while across the Atlantic lawmakers are debating what it means for freedom itself.

Free speech isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of democracy. When governments silence voices they don’t like, when citizens are punished for opinions, we all lose.

This is bigger than Lucy Connolly. It’s about whether freedom of expression still exists in Britain, and whether we’re willing to defend it.

Silencing speech is silencing liberty. And without liberty, democracy dies.
