The Government of Man: An Introduction to Ethics and Politics is a book written by George S. Brett and published in 1920.

Brett begins by examining the concept of ethics, and the different ethical theories that have been proposed throughout history. He then goes on to explore the nature of politics, and how it relates to ethics. He argues that politics is not simply a matter of power and control, but is also a moral enterprise that is concerned with the well-being of society as a whole. The book also delves into the various forms of government, including democracy, monarchy, and dictatorship. Brett analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each system, and considers which forms of government are best suited to different societies.

He argues that a healthy democracy requires an informed and engaged citizenry, and that individuals have a moral obligation to work towards the common good.
