From:  P. David Lebling 

The best matter duplication story I know of is Damon Knight's
book, "A for Anything."  In it, a cheap, easily made duplicator
is invented.  In the first chapter, civilization collapses.  Then
Knight skips ahead a few hundred years to look at the society
(basically a feudal one) that arises to deal with the duplicators.
The book is, I fear, out of print.
