Good combination in what sense?

To apply for degrees with?
Only history is a required subject. The others aren't specifically asked for for most degrees. So you'll be eligible for degrees that ask for any subjects or any history degree. If you want a more thorough list of these, let me know.

Whether they complement each other?
They are all essay based subjects, although in varying levels. Sociology takes a more research and academic approach to societal issues. Economics is more theoretical and involves diagrams. History is about memorising a lot of facts but from different perspectives. So yeah, they do complement each other in the sense you don't have to think in half a dozen different ways in order to get the grades; you can focus on writing good essays and it would stop you from multitasking too much.
