Prigogine actually came up with a genuine entropy minimization principle once (in contrast to your idea - which has never been formalised as a real entropy minimization principle - AFAIK). He called it the theorem of "minimum entropy production". However, in "Maximum entropy production and the fluctuation theorem" Dewar explained it as a special case of his "MaxEnt" formalism.
