There will always be a need for agrarian society. If not to provide food, then to provide a way for individuals to live a life free of corporate rules. Society will never be able to obliterate the desire of man to be free. No matter how earnest society asks, some people will not want to conform. This is the ying and yang of human nature. There has to be a balance struck. Jefferson may have advocated an agrarian society, but not because he wanted to oppress anyone. Because he recognizes the human spirits desire to be their own master. I think the better arguments on this point were made in a book called the gao seng zhi (book of eminent monks) or something in which the debates betweeen the confucianists, buddhists and daoists were made before the emperor.
