Eberron did a pretty good job imagining how a world would develop if low level magic was common enough to have a larger impact on society. For example, there was an NPC class known as a Magewright that served the purose of being a commoner that made their living given some magical talent, albeit in a relatively limited scope. But the key to this is that low level magic is common, but higher level magic much less so. And if you think about it, economies now are constantly being disrupted by advances in technology. Look at how things like Uber, Grubhub, and AirBnB have disrupted our economy. You can choose to either have your campaign world take place during this period of disruption, which could be interesting, or after the eventual stabilization once the world has found ways to incorporate these advances into the larger society to advance as a whole.</blockquote>
