It has been adapted numerous times in a varietyof styles and formats: in music, at least 46 operas by composers suchas Fromental Halvy , Zdenk Fibich and Thomas Ads; orchestral worksby Tchaikovsky, Arthur Sullivan and Arthur Honegger; and songs by such diverseartists as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Michael Nyman and Pete Seeger; inliterature, Percy Bysshe Shelleys poem With a Guitar, To Jane and W.

The "x Put" refers to the monetary policy approach that x, the former Chairman ofthe United States Federal Reserve Board, and other Fed members exercised from thelate 1987 to 2000.

During xs chairmanship, when a crisis arose and the stockmarket fell more than about 20%, the Fed would lower the Fed Funds rate, oftenresulting in a negative real yield.

The Fed did so after the 1987 stock market crash, which prompted traders to coin theterm x Put, later termed Moral hazard. In 2000, x raised interest rates several times.These actions were believed by some to have caused the bursting of the dot-combubble.
