What's the difference between modern society and ancient society?

There are great differences between modern society and ancient society. The main difference is that modern society is an industrialized and information-based society, while ancient society is an agricultural society.

In agricultural society, the vast majority of people are engaged in agricultural production, the main production relationship is the relationship between landlords and farmers, and the main production tool is land. The organizational structure of society is also organized in the way of agricultural society (familyization), the population is basically not mobile, and people and wealth are mainly attached to the land. Other handicrafts, commerce and other industries as a supplement.

In the industry and commerce and information society, the vast majority of people are mainly engaged in industrial production, and the main relations of production are capital owners and workers without capital. Capital plays a decisive role in social relations, people and wealth are also completely attached to capital, and the organizational structure of society is also linked by capital. In a sense, agriculture can also be organized and implemented in the form of industry. Population mobility is great, and families formed in agricultural society are completely disintegrated.
