Marx-Engels, Collected Works (New York: International Publishers, 1975-), Vols. 28-37*. (Answer too long to type out completely.)
*Perhaps one should add, I.I. Rubin, Essays on Marx's Theory of Value, tr. Samardzija & Perlman, Detroit: Black & Red, 1972. I'm trying to decide whether to add Patrick Murray, "Marx's 'Truly Social' Labour Theory of Value: Part I, Abstract Labour in Marxian Value Theory," _Historical Materialism_ 6 (Summer 2000), pp. 27-65 and "...Part II, How is Labour that is Under the Sway of Capital _Actually_ Abstract?" _HM_ 7 (Winter 2000), pp. 99-136.
