Roubini's book MegaThreats extensively discusses the threat to liberal democracies from backlash against trade, technology and social and political institutions.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
What would count as true or false
Check the text of Roubini's 'MegaThreats' (2022). True: the book contains substantial discussion, such as dedicated chapters or sections, of threats to liberal democracies from backlash against trade (deglobalisation or protectionism), against technology (e.g. AI and job loss) and against social and political institutions (populism). Mostly true: all three themes are discussed and linked to threats to democracy, but one is treated only briefly. Mixed: only one or two of the three themes are covered substantively. Mostly false: the themes appear only in passing. False: the book does not discuss these themes.

“Globalisation offered great promise and real achievements, not least for low-cost economies which saw poverty levels decline; but offshoring and technology transfers have had unintended consequences in the United States and Western Europe fuelling public resentment and helping generate populist politics.”

“And Nouriel doesn’t even mention:”
Reasoning
The evidence shows the book has chapters on the end of globalisation [E1] and the AI threat [E2], and a review links globalisation and technology transfer to populist politics [E3]. It does not show how substantively each theme is treated or tied to threats to democracy, so the evidence cannot separate the true, mostly true and mixed outcomes under the criteria.
