Capitalism failed to prosper in China because the merchants was never able to become established outside the control of the landlord gentry and their representatives in the bureaucracy.商人从属于官僚体系,任何具有一定规模的商业活动都不可能在没有政府支持的情况下进行,这一点到现在也还是差不多。商人一旦有钱之后,为了能够增加自己的话语权,就会投资地产,培养家人读书入仕,以及通过放高利贷的方式获得短期高额的收益,所以并不会把钱花在扩大生产上。而完成了购置地产培养读书人的步骤,其身份就从商人转变为了地主乡绅,依然不会为商人发声,甚至因为既商且绅还会反过来压制其他未能完成转化的商人。

居然有第二版了么?然而我们图书馆只有第一版。又,我记得宋朝两税并不是人头和田的两税,而是夏天和秋天各收一次的两税
