Why should we read this? What is it about? How will it help me in life?

Crappy response.
Why should we spend our time reading The Economist VERSUS something else? There's so many types of "knowledge" out there that you can't have them all. We have 24 hours a day.
I can personally make an argument that reading The Economist is a waste of time versus other pursuits. For example, I'm biased towards Business, especially Sales and Marketing. However, this is not my thread.
It's also not clear why every "international playboy" should read it as opposed to other people. Why not Al-Jazeera? Why not Businessweek? Why not TechCrunch? Why not stuff on game? After all, "knowledge is power my friend".
At least take some effort into constructing a nontrivial argument if you expect to be taken seriously.
I cant take you seriously after the response you have made. Your IQ doesnt deserve my time..

This is a variation on the big baller troll.
Unfortunately, "Congrats you are a better person now" is no "Your welcome" or "Top that motherfuckers."
2/10 would not make into a meme.

The Economist troll. Seen this on other boards. Certain kind of guy thinks discovering this magazine makes him part of the upper crust.

....but I've actually been "opened" a few times reading monocle at an airport, coffee shop, restaurant, etc. I used to read the economist, but it seems to have gotten less relevant with twitter and online sources of information.

The Economist is actually pretty solid. It helps you understand what is going on in the world. Also, there's nothing quite like watching a bunch of people be dicks to each other on the internet.

The economist is up there as one of the best things to read weekly. I work in finance and source many great investment opportunities by reading the economist weekly. If you read it weekly you will eventually gain a good understanding of the world's economy and how it works.
