Summary

Our winding exploration of the perspective of value creation in Chapter 4 ended on a reflection about agency in the face of historical forces. We characterized agency in terms of the dimensions of a social learning space. This yielded a subtle definition of agency in social learning as a crevice between the past and the future that creates an opening to exist as a person who cares to make a difference.
