Josef Peukert (22 January 1855 – 3 March 1910) was a German Bohemian anarchist known for his autobiographical book Memoirs from the proletarian revolutionary labor movement (German: Erinnerungen eines Proletariers aus der revolutionäern Arbeiterbewegung).

"...within these two years, I had become a convinced socialist.

"The first ingredient in the kind of businessman who can 'make something of himself' is a healthy portion of selfishness and a lack of morals and ethics. If he possesses these things he will reach success; without such aspects, he will never achieve success and will be crushed by the competition."
