Degrowth, fears and euphemisms
Reflections beyond growth: Degrowth, fears and euphemisms Álex López translated by Mark Burton In the series Prospects for Degrowth Republished from revista 15/15\15 Reflecting on the Beyond Growth Conference. Madrid, 2025 The Beyond Growth Conference document offers us a promising future: less production, less consumption... but, curiously, more public services, more rights, more democracy, more of everything good and none of the bad.

Reflections beyond growth (V): Degrowth, fears and euphemisms
Álex López: The risk is clear: that degrowth will remain trapped between unspoken fears and the euphemisms that disguise it.

US-Regierung will KI-Regulierung durch einzelne Bundesstaaten verhindern
Per Dekret hat US-Präsident Trump eine bundeseinheitliche KI-Regulierung auf den Weg gebracht – Lösungen auf Staatenebene würden zunehmend stören.

Trump repeatedly promised that his mass deportation efforts would target “the worst of the worst” criminals,
yet the government’s own data reveals that immigrants with no criminal record are the largest group in US immigration detention today.
How can the Trump administration justify its deployment of federal agents, and even the military, to US cities based on the factually disprovable fictions?

‘Spectacle of disorder’: How ICE creates the chaos ICE, cops, and the military are called in to ‘fix’
"Trump has been able to make this spectacle where you have disorder on one side and him on the other, and he can constantly encroach upon the civil rights of Americans by convincing us that this disorder is so systemic that only he can fix it."

Asymptotically large free semigroups in Zariski dense discrete subgroups of Lie groups
Let $G$ be a connected algebraic semisimple real Lie group with finite center and no compact factors, and let $Γ$ be a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of $G$. We show that $Γ$ contains free, finitely generated subsemigroups whose critical exponents are arbitrarily close to that of $Γ$. Furthermore, these subsemigroups are Zariski dense in $G$ and $P$-Anosov in the sense of Kassel--Potrie. This shows that no gap phenomenon holds for critical exponents of discrete subsemigroups of Lie groups, …
