(? - ) Working name of Ralph W Slone, US (?) author of some half a dozen stories published in Astounding from 1940 to 1958. "Business as Usual, During Alterations" (July 1958 Astounding) deals optimistically with the Economics of free commodities made available by Matter Duplication, suggesting that this Technology – intended by Aliens to disrupt the world – would simply flip America from an economy of scarcity to an almost indistinguishable one of abundance and copious easy credit.
