Why asset equal libilities plus owner equity?
It is the basic accounting equation because liabilities and owner equity both is required to return back to it's owners by business and business must have the same amount of assets to pay all back at any time that's why assets are equal with liabilities and owners equity.
Why is accounting differenciating between assets and equity?
Equity is the proportion of those assets you own, compared to the debt on those assets. An example would be a house. A house is an asset.

Assets minus liabilities equals equity. You have equity in assets.

Is the book value the same as stockholders' equity?
Book Value and Shareholder Equity are not quite the same thing. To find a company's book value, you need to take the shareholders' equity and exclude all intangible items. This leaves you with the theoretical value of all of the company's tangible assets (those which can be touched, seen, and felt). For this reason, book value is sometimes also called "Net Tangible Assets". http://beginnersinvest.about.com/cs/investinglessons/l/blles3bkvalue.htm

What is the difference between return on assets and return on equity from the perspective of an investor?
Well lets try to make this simple.Lets say our widget company made a net profit of $100,000 for the year. lets look at how the same profit might be reported two different ways.Return on assets, would be a calculation based on all assets. Lets say the buildings, machines, inventory, WIP, accounts receivable, cash on hand, leasehold improvements + all the things of value that the company owns title to are worth $1 million. Then it would be $100,000 return on $1million in assets or 10% ROAReturn on Equity: If your investors put up $200,000 equity to start the company and all the rest is cash flow & debt, borrowed money. Then it would be $100,000 return on $200,000 equity or 50% ROENow just for the record that is a gross oversimplification & some business professor or accountant is tearing his/her hair out, but in the simplest terms that is the concept answer. ROI & ROCE are similar concepts with subtle differences.
How far is it true that equity has never fulfilled its potential?
That is a statement that has no true answer. Fulfillment is subjective for one thing. If you are referring to equity as assets such those in investment accounts - there are "specialists" that search for ways, study the market place, political climate...on and on, to look for investment vehicles with the greatest return potential. So what does that mean? Potential is the same as saying possible. Sometimes the plan works better than other times. Predictions are not always realized. If we could know any of this FOR SURE, we'd all have total equity fulfillment. I guess I'd say that equity fulfillment is in the eye of the beholder.
