This statement is imprecise. Not a closed system, but an isolated one, to both
matter and energy flows in and out. The confusion, deliberate or not, between
closed and isolated systems led Georgescu-Roegen and his populizer Jeremy Rifkin

paper, "Solar Communism", 1996, Science & Society 60, No.3: 307-331 (heat death
is also discussed).
