>And there's really no reason to expect that meritocracy would fix unequal distribution of wealth

I never said it would.

>meritocracy hopes to fix injustice in the inequality of our world

Fixing the injustice in the inequality of the world isn't the same as fixing the inequality of the world. Kings and nobles having all the wealth because they were born with it is unjust inequality, while hard workers having all the wealth is just inequality (IMO).

In retrospect I realize this is hopelessly confusing wording and I really should have thought of a better way to describe what I meant. Dang nabbit.
