Yes the starving worker is as "free" to enter into the transaction as the rich capitalist, if he is prepared to starve to death to prove a point.

You are a genius of economics sir. I can see that not even the most subtle of economic theory or reality gets by you. Congratulations on your marvelously well thought through insights. You obviously are a gifted scholar with years of study and experience. Oh, by the way, which one are you? Are you the starving enslaved worker or the evil rich capitalist?
