Regulated market socialism is analysed into four major components: type of ownership, form of allocation of economic surplus, economic coordination and type of society. The top axis indicates the allocation of economic surplus by the private sector and the state plan. The bottom axis shows the form of ownership: private and state. The right-hand axis shows the form of economic coordination: market and state. The left-hand axis defines the type of civil society; unitary, one in which the state suppresses civil society; pluralist, one in which there are multiple groups. There are two economic sub-sectors, public and private. Both are coordinated by the market, but subject to a state plan, which effectively controls and allocates surplus product.
