Society deck is vital in early round.There are so many early game op cards and pernaments in this deck so you should always choose society in your first policy stage.Here is some recommendations for the selection.
1.overconsumption
2 industrial resources for 3 unrest is strong enough,but the fact that it doesnt take up your 5$ makes it better.overconsumption+public expenditure brings you into boom,that extra 5$ makes you the richest player in round 2 and gives you plenty of time to play vegan+sustainable consumption.basic education+boom is also enough to get your Class A to 3 ,grants you extra card draw.and craftmanship gives you resources to play in turn 2.dont play industrialization,you can play robotization to catch up later.
2.graduate studies
you can reach position 3 in A and 2 in C at same time,brings you extra income of 3$ and free factory growth.play robotization in turn 2 for military,turn 3 for industry could keep your industry level at 3 oil for 20 resources,the most efficient level.
3.vegan/sustainable consumption
pernament cards doesnt take up your hand slot,and both cards sort of grant extra resources,you need to get both eventually,so getting one of those is good if you dont have better option. vegan gives you extra renewable in turn1 but SC is slightly better since oil and industry is vital in late game.but these cards requires you to manage unrest.make sure you can draw indoctrine or overconsumption at turn 2 or you will not have enough money to play most of your card.
4. surcharge
extra money is always good,even in expense of unrest.surcharge+investment policy means free unrest.you can play both investment policy and graduate studies to catch up.and it will also makes your political reform faster. sadly it is not useful in turn 1(maybe you can try to play industry for renewables but it is just more money)
5. indoctrine
dont play it in turn 1.but in later turns it is sort of free unrest. you dont want your social class to grow wildly so lose 1 is not always a cost.indoctrine+graduate studies covers most of your class and unrest requirements.
