Editing the Classics – the unknown Marx and Engels MEGA – what’s in an acronym: Marx / Engels Complete Works. A Mega-Project – the largest historical critical edition project in the social sciences, more than a hundred scholars collaborating in 8 countries on 4 continents, a long-lasting project: started in the 1960s, will continue (after the recent evaluation) for at least another 10 years output: 164 volumes according to the original plan, still 114 volumes according to the revised plan of 1992.
