Re: [OPE] Who wrote the note 50 of chap.3 of Capital vol.1, Engels or Marx

I have a copy of the Mega edition of the first edition of Capital vol. 1,
of 1867, where this note appears as number 81 (p. 94) and therefore seems
to be from Marx himself {the volume belongs to section II (Zweite
Abteilung), "Das Kapital" und Vorarbeiten, vol. 5 (Band 5)}, 1983.

The same note appears in the Mega edition of the French translation of
Capital vol. I of 1872-1875 (note 97, p. 110). This volume belongs to the
same section of Mega, vol. 7, title "Le Capital Paris 1872-1875"

comradely,
Claus.
