Abstract: We study the linear polarization constants of finite dimensional Banach spaces. We obtain the correct asymptotic behaviour of these constants for the spaces $\ell_p^d$: they behave as $d^{1/p}$ if $1\leq p\leq 2$ and as $\sqrt{d}$ if $2\leq p<\infty$. For $p=\infty$ we get the asymptotic behavior up to a logarithmic factor.
