What are some papers with great introductions? One example I can think of is this paper by Feigenbaum and Gross, which seamlessly goes from big picture -> specific but vivid story. Also does incredibly well at connecting specific empirical findings to takeaways we should care about today.

The Trump administration’s proposal to slash IRS enforcement funding by 33 percent surpasses even the harshest proposed cuts during the agency’s scandal-plagued years last decade and would bring the appropriation in that category to its lowest since 2001.

Investors can use highly correlated ETFs to harvest capital losses without violating the wash-sale rule. By exploiting the tax loophole, investors earn a better return than the index.
The annual tax revenue loss is equal to approximately $25 billion.
