    Lawrence & Wishart, who hold the copyright for the Marx Engels Collected Works, have directed Marxists Internet Archive to delete all texts originating from MECW. Accordingly, from 30th April 2014, no material from MECW is available from marxists.org.
    English translations of Marx and Engels from other sources will continue to be available.
    You can buy a volume of MECW for $25-$50 from these sellers.


    The MECW is not the complete works. The following material is available on MIA which is not included in the MECW:
    Notes on Ricardo, Marx, 1845 Marx's Mathematical Manuscripts, 1881
    Fragments on Literature and Art as well as some of the material in the
    Biographical section and in the
    International Workingmen's Association Section.

    Apart from these, many of the most valued works of Marx and Engels were translated by Progress Publishers in the USSR and some other works by other publishers, and are in the public domain, and may be found in the Marx-Engels archive on marxists.org.
