Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Zingales has voiced support for greater regulation of the banking and technology industries.[8] Perhaps most interesting is his support of the United States debt ceiling, which is almost universally held in low regard by his colleagues.[9][citation needed]
In July 2012, Zingales took part in the 'No-Brainer Economic Platform' project of NPR's program Planet Money. He supported a six-part reform plan that involved eliminating all American income, corporate, and payroll taxes as well as the war on drugs and replacing the system with a broad consumption tax (including taxing formerly illegal substances).[10][11]
Zingales generated controversy in 2018 when he invited former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon to debate globalization and immigration at the University of Chicago against an undecided expert in the field. The decision sparked protests from students and faculty given Bannon's history of controversial statements.[12]
Studies
His main field of study is business economics, with a heavy focus on organizations and entrepreneurship.[citation needed]
Awards
He was the winner of the 2003 Germán Bernácer Prize to the best European economist under 40 working in macro-finance.[13]
In 2012, he was named by Foreign Policy magazine to its list of FP Top 100 Global Thinkers, "For reminding us what conservative economics used to look like."[14]
