    I've read it on occasion. It occasionally had good articles on where geo-politics and economics meet. Without the free market fundamentalist bias that you get from the Wall Street Journal. But I think being able to understand it doesn't make you an intelligent person. Its just that what it talks about is very narrow and very super-specialized. So you have to be a well-informed person in that NARROW area to either find it interesting or grasp what is being talked about.

    • Is this serious or just a bad joke?

      • Who said that? The Economist marketing department? From what I’ve read of it it just seems like a regular current affairs magazine.

          Right... This is like that time where only “smart people” liked Rick and morty. It’s like when people rant on why they like dogs, and they make up scenarios where the good boy messiah pissing on the carpet is better than that time your little brother did. You don’t have to justify liking dogs, but before you do anything else potty train your brother because that shit is not cool.
