Both of these functions, market value and vote per person, are at least in my eyes pre-defined rules. You have to agree with them under the many circumstances

Both of these functions, market value and vote per person, are at least in my eyes pre-defined rules. You have to agree with them under the many circumstances where they apply. To me the term meritocracy just seems too idealist and it assumes too much in relation to complex and varied systems like economy or politics.
