Helene Guldberg (DoB 23.10.1965) is a teacher and an associate of the libertarian anti-environmental LM network, having been co-publisher of Living Marxism and co-founder and (current) Managing Editor of Spiked. On occasion in writing for Living Marxism she used the pseudonym Helene Gold. Guldberg studied psychology as a mature student at Edinburgh University sitting her finals in 1989. In 1996 she recalled 'I remember walking out into a lovely summer's day in 1989, after sweating over my final psychology examination at the University of Edinburgh, and thinking "Thank God, that's the last I'll see or hear of Chris Brand!"--the lecturer who set part of the exam, and whose ideas I had fought against in many a seminar over the previous four years.'
