'Capitalism as we know it will likely be changed forever,' says billionaire investor Leon Cooperman

The Omega Advisers chief executive, with a net worth of more than $3 billion, made the dramatic prediction"I believe that what we're going through has very lasting implications for the long term," he said. "No. 1: Capitalism as we know it will likely be changed forever."

Specifically, Cooperman, who has previously called the market rout "healthy" despite losing "a ton of money," warned of tighter regulation and higher taxes as the economy recovers from record job losses and a plunge in equity values.

So capitalism is changed.

"Consistently low interest rates are indicative of a troubled economy and should not be viewed positively," he said.
