Things I'd like to learn in business school

I went from consulting to VC to med/large cap PE. My consulting experience was CDD and strategy (I learned a lot about demand markets and growth). VC was early stage (a lot about entrepreneurship, unit economics, and becoming a viable business), and PE was understanding hundreds of business models, cap stacks, etc.

I studied a non-business degree in UG and I never worked in an investment bank, and so I feel like I am really lacking a solid foundational macro understanding. I don't always grasp everything immediately when I'm reading policy papers on the economy, monetary policy, etc. (especially now). I'm not asking whether it's worth it, I'm asking - is this something you learn at business school? I see that this is covered in some curriculums but I'm wondering if I'll actually learn this so that I can understand it and incorporate this mode of thought into my daily work life. Thanks.
