Selling the Revolution

Entrepreneurs are seeking to profit from the demonstrations with T-shirts and other merchandise. T-shirts began to appear days after the first protest on 17 September, a march through lower Manhattan. Now T-shirts, coffee mugs and other merchandise are being offered on the campsites that have sprung up in cities across the US.
