It seems you misread Dijkstra. He uses 'making money' within the context of financial 'industry' and questions the legitimacy of that 'industry' which does not produce any goods, thereby pointing out one of the many euphemisms adopted by financial sector to swindle people out of money. (Of course, one can legitimately disagree here and say that moving money where it is most useful is a useful thing to do and that's one of the good things financial sector does). Between, this essay did not seem to me at all to indicate a hateful attitude towards the industrial world.
