In a world where "full" nanotech is available to everyone, there will be only three things of value:
(1) Land (i.e., territory); (2) Energy; (3) Human capital, i.e., people.
Land and energy will still have prices; mere bulk (atoms) will not. As usual, people will attempt to gain power over other people by fair means or foul. Pretty much just like now.
