Series Summary
In 2009, Britain will pay out more in benefits than it raises in income tax. Welfare and pension payments cost more than education, health or defence.
Now, as the government attempts to revolutionise the welfare system - controversially rewarding private companies according to their ability to coax people off benefits and into jobs - this documentary series follows the people on both sides of this new welfare state.
