The Treasury Secretary | Suing Social Media | College of Magic

The Treasury Secretary – Norah O'Donnell interviews treasury secretary Janet Yellen about the record rate of inflation, the war in Ukraine, and whether there will be a recession in 2023. 60 MINUTES also traveled with the secretary to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Fort Worth to see the first U.S. dollars with her signature roll off the printing presses. It is the first time in American history the names of two women – Secretary Yellen and U.S. treasurer Lynn Malerba – have appeared on U.S. currency in the country's nearly 250-year history. 

Suing Social Media – Sharyn Alfonsi reports on how new legal challenges against Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat may alter the future landscape of social media. More than 1,200 families are pursuing lawsuits against the social media giants, accusing the platforms of impacting their kids' mental health and, in some cases, causing the death of their children. Alfonsi sits down with some of these families and the founder of the Social Media Victims Law Center. 

College of Magic – You can't wave a wand and make intolerance, poverty, and violence disappear, but you can use magic to try. Jon Wertheim visits the College of Magic in Cape Town, South Africa, where students learn sleight of hand, juggling, ventriloquism, and card tricks. But what the school really teaches is also the great superpower of magic itself: rethinking the limits of possibility.

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
