How the answer moves
The flow snapshot — the routes in, the body, the counter-view and the routes out.
Route 1 locate line in Harrington → property–power–liberty chain → stake: necessary, not complete
Route 2 republican claim that economic structure underpins freedom → strong but partial
estates = wide diffusion of property → blocks concentration of power → dispersed power = liberty survives → gross wealth → influence / patronage / domination → Harrington verbatim → modern form: civic independence + Rawls (fair value of political liberty) → land reform / progressive tax / anti-trust as checks
estates not sufficient (courts, free media, constitutional safeguards) → caste / gender / race hierarchies survive property reform → Hayek: forced material equality → totalitarian power
Route 1 important but not exclusive foundation of liberty
Route 2 economic equality one pillar; liberty rests on property and institutions together
