From The Next Big Future:Michael Anissimov has an article which mentions the inevitability of global governance in a future with full blown molecular manufacturing nanofactories. This case has been made by some others that the revolutionary manufacturing capabilities of unrestricted nanofactories would require extreme security measures. If someone could do whatever they want with a atomically precise nanofactory, they could use it to produce more nanofactories and then with a large number produce weapons to overwhelm others.
There are many things that go into this.
1. What is the scale of likely threat/risk scenarios and how are they limited ?
2. What is the likely security enhancement of global governance and institutions and what are the alternative security measures ?
3. What is the likely path that we seem to be on getting to full blown molecular manufaturing nanofactories ?
4. Intel is an example of a modern fabrication company that has been able to remain dominant over decades

My Comment: A complex article .... you have to take the time to read it. But when you have you will appreciate the new technologies that are in the pipeline, and on how they will impact society.
