PBS Newshour interview with Greg Ip, journalist for The Economist on 3-15-2011 (7 min)

"The bank of Japan has the means to finance plenty of borrowing, the Japanese are very higher savers, .. and it is conceivable that if done right a really, vigorously financed, executed reconstruction scheme could, in the end, prove to a big boost to Japanese growth."
As long as global supply chains are not disrupted for too long, the disaster should have little economic impact on the global economy.
