I can't speak for Carrol, but there have been plenty of nonviolent
political revolutions in post-agrarian societies. The short list over the
past few decades:

Democracy in Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Baltics (1990)
Democracy in Philippines (1986)
Democracy in South Korea (1987)
Democracy in Taiwan (1990)
Democracy in Indonesia (1998)
Economic democracy in Latin America (1998 - present)
Economic democracy in Russia (2000 - present)
