You would have to take the role of buyer at the moment of purchase to determine what someone's skill are worth. If my employer thinks my skills are worth $1 million, and signs a contract with me good for the million. That was the price, that was the worth, even if that is not what you would pay. If I add $1 million in value to my employer is another issue. At the end of the contract he may find my skills were worth $10 million, or $0. In a free market you get a true measure of worth. In a controlled market you don't. For example: If the government says I Have to use Union labor at an inflated wage, then you have a situation where not all pricing is what your skills are worth.
