Not circular logic, it's excactly how it works. Someone offers you money for your time and if both parties find an agreement on how much that time is worth, they've determined a value that is acceptable for both parties. No one is forced to employ or be employed.

"No one is forced to employ or be employed"
Pretty sure most people who live paycheck to paycheck would disagree.
They need to work to earn a living, but they are not forced to be employed if they think the wage is too low. That would be slavery. But I see the point that this degree of freedom poses a problem for work with a low entry barrier.

Er, can you clarify? If you don't work, you don't eat.

Like the thousands of unemployed people? Some haven't eaten for years.
That's not what he means, just like that's not what you mean.
