Skimming off the Top responses to the book An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.  

It is a depiction of an ATM machine, custom-made to reflect some of the broad theories posited in Smith's book. The Wealth of Nations is considered a  foundation upon which we understand many contemporary economic theories about about the division of labor, price, wages, markets, capital and taxes. 

ATMs are ubiquitous nodes of commerce that the public interacts with daily, making them ideal locations to illustrate Smith’s ideas, which continue to impact us today.
