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
