What the Taxman Doesn't See
If you've ever paid, or been paid, for a job of work with a handful of notes the taxman is unlikely to know about, then you're part of the black economy. It's a practice that seems to be on the increase at nearly every level of society and, in spite of the loss to the Inland Revenue, there are those who argue it's not entirely a bad thing. It could even help create more jobs. BBC Labour Affairs Correspondent
Nick Jones joins Susan Rae for a You and Yours pre-Budget investigation of the alternative economy.

Thirty years ago, the Treaty of Rome 'determined to lay the foundations of an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe'.
A series of 11 programmes offering a perspective on the European Community as seen through portraits of Britain's fellow members.
8: Portugal - the Most Civilised European
The Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa described his countrymen as the most civilised people in Europe, because 'they are bom acceptors of all'.
Certainly, it's a talent which down the years has stood them in good stead. Today Portugal is the economic waif of Western Europe, the Cinderella of the EEC, far and away its poorest member. And yet it is the continent's oldest nation-state, surviving the last 600 years by turning its back on Europe. David Sells reports from this small country, perhaps the most resilient in Europe, but one riddled with paradoxes. Producer FRANK SMITH
