Roubini published a recent Project Syndicate piece discussing the rise in economic threats and their interactions with social, political, environmental and technological developments.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
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.
The evidence is the person's or their organisation's own records.
What would count as true or false
True: a Project Syndicate commentary written by Roubini was published shortly before 2023-11-29 (within about the previous two months) and discusses rising economic threats and how they interact with social or political, environmental and technological developments. Mostly true: such a piece exists but appeared somewhat earlier (up to about four months before), or it covers most but not all of the listed areas. Mixed: a recent Roubini Project Syndicate piece exists but deals mainly with only one of the listed themes. Mostly false: the matching piece appeared elsewhere, or was published much earlier than 'recent' allows. False: Roubini published no Project Syndicate piece on this subject in that period.

E1 Our Megathreatened Age. NYU Stern (faculty research page) · 24 November 2023 Own record
“Everyone now acknowledges that economic, monetary, and financial threats are rising and interacting in dangerous ways with various other social, political, geopolitical, environmental, health, and technological developments.”
-
E2 Our Megathreatened Age. NYU Stern (faculty research page) · 24 November 2023 Own record
“As seen in: Project Syndicate”
-
E3 The Age of Megathreats Project Syndicate · 4 November 2022
“For four decades after World War II, climate change and job-displacing artificial intelligence were not on anyone’s mind, and terms like "deglobalization" and "trade war" had no purchase.”
Reasoning
Roubini's NYU Stern faculty research page has an essay titled "Our Megathreatened Age", dated 2023-11-24, which credits Project Syndicate as the place it appeared (E2). The essay says that economic, monetary and financial threats are rising and interacting with social, political, geopolitical, environmental, health and technological developments (E1). That covers every area the claim lists. The page doesn't give the Project Syndicate publication date, but its 2023-11-24 date suggests the piece came out shortly before the 2023-11-29 claim. The earlier 2022 "Age of Megathreats" piece (E3) is a different, older commentary and doesn't change this.
