How did technological advancements in agricultural practices impact labor systems in agrarian societies, particularly in terms of social inequality?

Technological advancements in agricultural practices, such as the introduction of the plow and irrigation systems, significantly changed how farming was done in agrarian societies. These improvements allowed farmers to produce more food with less manual labor, which meant that fewer workers were needed on farms. As a result, some people gained wealth and power from owning large farms and using technology, while others struggled to find work or were pushed into lower-paying jobs. For example, in a society where a few landowners used advanced tools to farm efficiently, many laborers might end up working for them at low wages, creating a gap between the rich and the poor. This shift in labor systems often led to increased social inequality, as those who controlled the technology and land became much more prosperous than the laborers who worked for them.
