In this paper we point out that redshift surveys can break the degeneracy between the galaxy bias, the power spectrum normalization, \sigma_{8,0} and the growth factor, without the need for external information by using a simple and rather general parameterization for the growth rate, the well known \gamma-parameterization. We find that in next-generation surveys like Euclid \sigma_{8,0} and \gamma can be measured to within 1%, 5%, respectively, while the bias b(z) can be measured to within 1-2% in every redshift bin.
