Title: Re: (OPE-L) Questions About Marx's Unpublished Manuscripts

Some answers to (c) are in the introduction by Nicola Taylor and me to the ISMT volume, The Constitution of Capital, Palgrave, 2004, published a month ago. See below (frankly, I don't remember if me or somebody else gave the information on the list: in the event, sorry).

The section 2 of the MEGA, on the writings connected to Capital, should be completed for 2010, I guess, see however
