宋代资本主义萌芽因受封建官僚制度的流弊——机构官吏冗滥、官吏经商、官商勾结、军队冗杂、思想保守等因素的制约、扼杀而遭到夭折。反思宋代资本主义萌芽的命运，对于消除现时类似问题和改革政治体制不无启迪作用。 The buds of capitalism in the Song Dynasty were aborted because of the abuses of the feudal bureaucratic system, the excessive number of officials in the government, the government officials and businessmen, the collusion between officials and merchants, the miscellaneous forces and the conservative thinking. To reflect on the fate of capitalist sprouting in the Song Dynasty is not without enlightenment for eliminating the existing similar problems and reforming the political system.
