Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Putnam and others have theorized that social capital cultivates norms of particpation in the private sphere that functions as a resource for civic engagement. This paper analyzes a case where an informal immigrant practice is the target of government action to learn if immigrants draw on their extensive network to affect the public debate and legislative outcomes. Although Chicago's immigrants possessed trust, norms and networks in their formal and informal banking system, the political mobilization of a national network of progressive era reformers and, later, of rural and downtown bankers proved more decisive in deciding and passing legislation that targeted immigrant banking. Despite this, the new financial institutions thrived. Far from eliminating the role of social ties in banking, they simply re-ordered them.
