Moving a market of around one trillion dollars in 2015 and expected to triple this figure by 2020, the Nanotechnology is currently a main focus of research, development and innovation in all industrialized countries of the world. Although the profitability and the profitability of the Nanotechnology market is certain and unquestionable, and the promise to create products capable of solving problems of Homeric proportions is highly seductive, many uncertainties and concerns have disputed the diary of the scientific community worldwide debate. Issues such as safety and health of workers and consumers, genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of nanoparticles, accumulation of nanoparticles in the environment, among others, are interested to different actors, researchers, government, industry and society, since these issues directly affect all humanity. In this paper, we will focus on discussing the complex relationship between technological development x economic development, in order to investigate whether nanotechnology can be considered as a lever for the Brazilian industry and able to foster economic development in the country. This work is inserted in the Brazilian legal academia that sees the economic law as “still essential" and supports the idea that overcoming peripheral condition requires that the democratic state becomes strong, both politically and economical for it to be able to do front to private economic power holders.
