Best classes/reading for aspiring Macro HF analyst/trader?

This is a bit random, but I find myself in grad school right now with an interest in entering macro investing. I have the opportunity to take business school / law school / public policy classes in my program.

For those in the field, do you have any recommendations on classes you took / would take if you had the time?

e.g. I imagine classes around Fed policy would be great. Same goes for classes on currency systems worldwide from a legal perspective.

Thank you very much for your input in advance.
