Read through the section of Economic democracy entitled: An alternative model. It is one model of market socialism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Democracy

David Schweikart's model is further fleshed out here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Schweickart

He christens his model of market socialism "Economic Democracy." There is a link to a fairly lengthy but informative write-up about his model entitled Economic Democracy: A Worthy Socialism That Would Really Work.

He actually builds his example of market socialism using components found in the world from models of Japanese management, to worker self-management in former Yugoslavia, to the Cooperative Mondragon Corporation in Spain, perhaps the largest employee-owned firm in the world.

See how deep the rabbit hole takes you. ;)
