《资政新篇》被誉为“中国第一个近代化纲领”。它具有鲜明的资本主义性质,通过其内容可以看出,在“向西方学习”上,超出了同时代的地主阶级知识分子的主张,是先进的中国人最早提出的在中国发展资本主义的新方案,集中反映了先进的中国人探索救国救民道路的迫切愿望。但是,这个由先进的中国人最早提出的旨在中国发展资本主义的新方案,因为诸多原因根本没有付诸实施就被束之高阁。 “A new chapter of government” is hailed as “China’s first modernization program.” It has a distinctive character of capitalism. From its contents, it can be seen that it is beyond the claim of contemporary intellectuals of the landlord class that “learning from the west” is the earliest proposal by advanced Chinese to develop capitalism in China The new program has focused on the urgent desire of advanced Chinese to explore the path of saving the nation and saving the people. However, the earliest proposal put forward by advanced Chinese to develop capitalism in China was put away because many reasons were not implemented at all.
