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.

The ability to understand an article in The Economist is a byproduct of [i]education[/i] and/or experience in a narrow, specialized area of knowledge where geopolitics and economics overlap. So while people who can understand it—-I’m one of them—-tend to be intelligent, the fact that one does not is NOT proof of lack of intelligence. Many people are intelligent but are simply not knowledgeable in that area. Many people knowledgeable in one area aren’t in others.
